Multivitamins have ignited a fierce scientific debate over whether nutritional supplements are beneficial to our health or a multi-billion-dollar racket. A long-term randomized controlled trial in the ...

A study led by the University of Oxford has identified a surprising source of entropy in quantum timekeeping—the act of measurement itself. In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists ...

Clock genes are a set of genes known to contribute to the regulation of the human body's internal 24-hour cycle, also known as the circadian rhythm. One of these genes is the so-called CLOCK gene, a ...

Scientists used quantumly entangled two optical atomic clocks at a distance of two meters, reports a new study. The achievement opens the door to probing fundamental reality on a deep level. It’s hard ...

Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and can recover faster from long-term starvation, according to a study published today in eLife. The ...

If you’re interested in completely reworking the body’s internal clock, you might be intrigued by medicinal fungi with transformative effects. If you’re just looking to tweak it, you may not need to ...

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...
