Timekeeping has always been one of humankind’s greatest fascinations. From observing the sun’s shadow to engineering atomic precision, the evolution of timekeeping devices spans centuries of ...
On June 16, 1657, Christiaan Huygens – a Dutch astronomer, inventor, physicist and mathematician – patented a pendulum clock for the first time. A.S.Ganesh takes a look at how Huygens turned ...
“Every clock needs two components: first, a time base generator—such as a pendulum in a pendulum clock, or even a quantum oscillation,” Marcus Huber, the senior author of the study from TU Wien, said ...

Witness the intricate build of a fully working LEGO pendulum clock designed for precision and durability. This project features an enhanced escapement mechanism paired with a smooth gear train ...
Seen among family portraits, is a French brass clock (left) by A.D. Mougin, dating back to around 1880, and a verge escapement torsion pendulum wall clock (right) made by Gustav Becker for Anton ...
Pendulum clocks are only accurate to about a second per day, as the rate at which a pendulum swings can vary with humidity, temperature, and the weight of extra dust.
From space, ACES will link to some of the most accurate clocks on Earth to create a synchronized clock network, which will support its main purpose: to perform tests of fundamental physics. But it ...
