One of the fundamental mysteries surrounding the concept of time is whether it's continuous and our chronological measurements are just a way of making the sense of the world, or if it actually breaks ...

Scientists successfully measured an event using zeptoseconds, which is an incredibly brief fraction of a second. The time it took for a photo to pass through a hydrogen molecule was measured at 247 ...

Scientists said that "zeptosecond" is the smallest amount of time. The new unit represents one trillionth of a billionth of a second (10 to the -21st power), which is smaller than a millisecond. In ...

In a regular watch, the time markers are down to a beat, whether mechanical or electronic, which corresponds to the smallest unit of time that the device can measure.

The smallest conceivable length of time might be no larger than a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a second. That's according to a new theory describing the implications of ...

Engineers at Oculus, Facebook's virtual reality division, have invented a new unit of time. No, we are not kidding. For what possible purpose, you ask? Called a flick (frame-tick), the new time ...
