The long, slow chime of the grandfather clock may finally be fading out. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, John J. Miller notes that Howard Miller Company, the Michigan manufacturer that helped put tall ...

Keeping track of time seems simple. A watch ticks, a pendulum swings, and a calendar flips. But at the quantum level, marking time is far more complicated — and far more expensive than anyone expected ...

A new project has been published to the Hackster.io website this week from Jeremy Cook, who has created a unique single nixie pendulum POV clock powered by an Arduino Nano microcontroller together ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Aaron D. Crane (1804-1860) of ...

Talk about your mixed timekeeping metaphors: there are clocks, and pendulum clocks, and there are Nixie clocks, and persistence of vision clocks. But this is a Nixie pendulum POV clock, and we think ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. To unpack these a bit, Karl Popper was the philosopher of science who I ...
