Clock

The symbolic "Doomsday Clock" was held at 90 seconds to midnight Tuesday, reflecting existential threats to humanity posed by potential nuclear escalation from the war in Ukraine and the multiplying impacts of the climate crisis following Earth's hottest recorded year.Set by top scientists and security experts, the timing of the clock remains the same as last year and the closest it has ever been to midnight in its more than 75-year-history."Trends continue to point ominously towards global catastrophe," said Rachel…

"Trends continue to point ominously towards global catastrophe," said Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which reset its Doomsday clock to 90 seconds to midnight. The symbolic "Doomsday Clock" was held at 90 seconds to midnight Tuesday, reflecting existential threats to humanity posed by potential nuclear escalation from the war in Ukraine and the multiplying impacts of the climate crisis…

Last year, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which sets the time each year, moved the clock forward to 90 seconds from midnight — AKA doom. That was the closest the clock has ever been set to annihilation, and it will stay there this year. “Ninety seconds to midnight is profoundly unstable and must not engender complacency.”“There are two key messages in our statement and they are one: that 90 seconds to midnight is profoundly unstable and must not engender complacency and two: the advancement of technology is…

As Earth turns, so does our physiological clock. Daylight keeps cascades of timekeeping molecules in sync as they perform regulatory dances throughout our bodies, sometimes partnering with sex hormones, sometimes waltzing alone, but always leading the way.A surprising study led by the University of California, Davis has now discovered timekeeping molecules that dance to a completely different tune.In the large black chafer beetle (Holotrichia parallela), a species of scarab beetle, sex hormones seem to take the lead and…

The Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra are the first phones to run Samsung's new One UI 6.1 software. Although it might seem like a minor update over One UI 6.0, it isn't. It brings several new AI and customization features to Samsung's mobile devices. Some of those features will also be released to existing Galaxy devices before the end of the first half of this year. One such feature is enhanced lock screen customization. One UI 6.1 brings unlimited font support for the lock screen clock widget With One UI…

One of the biggest mysteries of the universe is why there is a universe at all. According to particle physics, the big bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter, and they should have immediately canceled each other out. But here we are! We're lucky enough to exist, and we get to live in a time when fundamental questions can be asked and potentially answered scientifically. Physicist Luke Caldwell narrates how he and his colleagues made the most precise measurement ever of a property of electrons that…

The Upper City Clock Puzzle in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown can be somewhat tricky. That's because certain objects are hard to reach, and you need them to repair a mechanism.

One UI 6.1 will likely debut on the Galaxy S24 series, which will be unveiled after two days. It is expected to bring several new features, particularly on the Galaxy S24. However, many features will likely be released to existing smartphones and tablets, and they have been leaked over the past few weeks. One more small but useful customization feature from One UI 6.1 has now leaked, and it could come to all phones that are eligible to run One UI 6.1. One UI 6.1 could have unlimited font options for the lock screen clock…

Quantum computers require precise time measurement for manipulating quantum states, but new research has revealed a fundamental limitation: clocks cannot achieve perfect resolution and precision simultaneously due to their finite energy and entropy generation. This imposes inherent constraints on quantum computing’s capabilities. As quantum technology advances, overcoming these time measurement challenges will become critical, possibly leading to new discoveries in quantum mechanics.Quantum computing is becoming more…
