New Electronics - NPL unveils first UK optical clock to contribute to determining International Atomic Time

A major milestone towards the redefinition of the second has been achieved by scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) with the first inclusion of a UK optical frequency standard (NPL-Sr1) in the determination of International Atomic Time (TAI).

World clock: What is it and how does it work?

The world's timekeepers balance ultra-precise atomic clocks with the irregular spin of our planet to come up with the world clock.

Earth is spinning around its axis more quickly than it has in decades

Earth's 28 fastest days ever recorded happened in 2020.
On average, the planet rotated more quickly around its axis last year than it did in previous years.
Scientists who measure the speed of Earth's rotation think 2021 may be even faster than 2020. If so, they may need to subtract a second from the year.
As it turns out, 2020 was shorter than previous years – even though it didn't always feel that way.
The 28 fastest days on record since 1960 all happened last year, since Earth revolved around its axis up to 1.5 milliseconds faster than usual. Those 28 days all broke the previous record for the shortest day ever documented: July 5, 2005. That day lasted 1.0516 milliseconds less than the standard 86,400 seconds. Now, the shortest day ever recorded lasted .45 milliseconds less than that previous record.

Scientists consider slashing a leap second from time, as Earth spins at its fastest in half a century- Technology News, Firstpost

Scientists consider slashing a leap second from time as Earth spins at its fastest in half a century
Timekeepers around the world are debating whether to add a 'negative leap second' to time, in a would-be historical first.

Scientists have now revealed that that Earth is rotating faster than normal and as a result, the length of each day has become slightly shorter than 24 hours. Timekeepers around the world are reportedly debating whether to delete a second from time to account for the change and bring back precision to the timeline with respect to the rotation of the Earth. As per the report, the addition of the 'negative leap second' has never been done before.
