Quantum-logic clock loses a second in 3.7 billion years

Scientists have built a clock which is 37 times more precise than the existing international standard.

The quantum-logic clock, which detects the energy state of a single aluminum ion, keeps time to within a second every 3.7 billion years. The new timekeeper could one day improve GPS or detect the slowing of time predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity.Read More

Innovative Arduino-controlled antique weather clock

Sean Carney took an antique clock, removed the mechanism, and replaced it with an Arduino microcontroller. The computer is programmed to check the weather from the weather service every fifteen minutes (via an Ethernet module for the Arduino), then adjusts the hands accordingly.Read More

Last year David Friedman published on his blog Ironic Sans an interesting design concept for something that he called The Bulbdial Clock. It's like a sundial, but with better resolution - not just an hour hand, but a minute and second hand as well, each given as a shadow from moving artificial light sources.Read More
