According to information published by the "Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists," in 2026, the Doomsday Clock was set to 85 seconds to "nuclear midnight," which is four seconds less compared to the previous year. This data has been made public since 1947, and since 2015, it has been published annually, reflecting the overall threat of global risks.

In assessing the situation, experts take into account a multitude of factors, including the level of nuclear threat, climate change, as well as progress in new technologies and biosecurity. The ceremony announcing this indicator took place in early 2026 and was broadcast on the publication's website.

For reference, in 2025, the hands showed 89 seconds to "nuclear midnight," and for the two previous years, it was 90 seconds.
