Huygens first used a clock to calculate the equation of time (the difference between the apparent solar time and the time given by a clock), publishing his...

A pendulum clock is a clock that uses a pendulum, a swinging weight, as its timekeeping element. The advantage of a pendulum for timekeeping is that it...

A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic device (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that measures the passage of time. Although the term...

Quartz clocks and quartz watches are timepieces that use an electronic oscillator regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time. The crystal oscillator, controlled...

railways needed clocks for railway time that were synchronized between stations, while local people needed to match their clock (or the church clock) to the time...

An atomic clock is a clock that measures time by monitoring the resonant frequency of atoms. It is based on atoms having different energy levels. Electron...
