Scientists from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have made an important breakthrough in the field of quantum metrology by developing a new generation of strontium optical clocks. These devices can measure the passage of time with an accuracy that was previously considered almost impossible. The clock is so stable that its error would be less than one second over a period twice the age of the universe, AzerNEWS reports.

According to him, the sharp rise at the start of the week was triggered by reports that Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, and Kuwait had reduced production. “During the first week of the war this did not happen, except in Iraq, because oil was being stored in tanks. As those tanks filled, cutting production became logical due to limited export capacity,” the expert explains.
The pace of global warming on Earth may have accelerated significantly in recent years. This conclusion was reached by scientists from the University of Potsdam, who analyzed long-term data on the planet’s temperature and separated the influence of natural climatic factors from human-caused ones, AzerNEWS reports.
