Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at ...

What does the passage of time look like for a truly quantum object? The world’s best clocks may soon be able to answer this question, testing how time can stretch and shift in the quantum realm and ...

Physicists have now managed to track the passage of time inside a quantum event without using anything that looks like a traditional clock. Instead of ticking gears or oscillating crystals, they read ...
