Time

Time crystals are a strange state of matter with properties that sound impossible, but they have been created. Now, German scientists have made one that lasts 10 million times longer than in previous experiments.

We've all heard "to follow one's nose" when it comes to trusting your gut. Now, scientists have found that the brain does exactly this, when previously unknown decision-making time cells fire up and evoke a rapid physical response to certain smells.

What did your area look like 1,000 years ago? Well, people in the year 3023 might have the luxury of finding out, thanks to an art/science project called the Millennium Camera, which will take an extremely long-exposure photo of the Arizona desert.

For the first time, scientists have established that our perception of the passing of time can, independently, influence how a wound heals. It opens the door to better understanding the mind-body's connection and its role in healing and recovery.

If you’ve ever felt like you need more hours in the day, well how does 60 sound? A new study suggests we’d have 60-hour days by now if a stalemate between the Sun and Moon hadn’t interfered with Earth’s rotation for over a billion years.
-
Scientists using quasars as cosmic clocks have observed that when the universe was just a billion years old, time ran five times slower, helping to confirm Einstein's general theory of relativity and the expansion of the universe.

At Watches & Wonders Geneva 2023, Swiss watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis has unveiled its concept wrist timepiece called the Monovortex Split-Seconds Chronograph that introduces three new complications to the world of haute horlogerie.
-
The heart has long been called our "ticker." A new study shows why that might be the case even more than we previously imagined. Researchers have demonstrated that our perception of time shifts with the length of our heartbeats.
-
University of Oxford physicists have linked two atomic clocks through quantum entanglement for the first time. The feat can help make these clocks so precise that they begin to approach the fundamental limit of precision set by quantum mechanics.
-
A new study suggests that the best time of day to exercise differs by sex. Evening exercise was found to be more effective for men, while results for women varied, with different health outcomes improving with different exercise times.
-
The movements of the Sun, Moon and stars have long been used to keep track of time, and now engineers from the University of Tokyo have proposed a new way to use the cosmos to precisely track time, using showers of particles from cosmic rays.
-
Britain's supercarrier HMS Prince of Wales has become the first surface ship to be equipped with a state-of-the-art atomic clock as it departs for the Exercise Cold Response 2022 NATO joint exercises off the north coast of Norway.
