Thanks to Albert Einstein, the US Government wants to establish an official time zone for the Moon. It has less to do with jet lag and more to do with how gravity affects time and can throw a lot of very precise technologies seriously off track.

If you wished your lightsaber could tell you the time, Urwerk has now got your back. For around $60,000, the limited edition SpaceTime Blade clock uses good old Nixie tubes to display a quirky collection of time and astronomical measurements.

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.
