According to the project "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists," at the beginning of 2026, the Doomsday Clock showed only 85 seconds to "nuclear midnight." This value is four seconds less than that recorded in 2025. Estimates related to the clock have been published since 1947, and since 2015, they have been released annually.

These clocks serve as an indicator of global threats, taking into account nuclear risks, climate change, as well as progress in new technologies and biosecurity. The announcement ceremony of the indicator was broadcast on the publication's website at the beginning of 2026.

For context: in 2025, the clock's hands indicated 89 seconds to "nuclear midnight," and for the two previous years, this value was 90 seconds.
