Scientists have long known that animals pace their sleep, hunger, and activity with the changing light of the seasons. But ...

Time crystals exhibit perpetual motion-like behavior when separated from external energy input, but scientists found a way to ...

As the timebase for a clock, almost anything with a periodic oscillation can be used. Traditionally, that meant a pendulum, but in our time, we’ve seen plenty of others. Perhaps none as unusual as ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

Abstract: Clock and data recovery (CDR) systems are the first logic blocks in serial data receivers and the latter's performance depends on the CDR. In this paper, a 100 Gbit/s CDR designed in 130 nm ...

Abstract: This brief presents a forwarded clock receiver based on an injection-locked oscillator with a simple clock multiplication unit (CMU) to reduce the clock jitter and power consumption of the ...

Natural oscillations known as circadian rhythms influence many processes in humans and other animals including sleep, eating, brain activity and body temperature. These rhythms allow us to anticipate ...

Dinoflagellate clocks are unique as they show no resemblance to any known model eukaryotic or prokaryotic clock architecture. Dinoflagellates are unicellular, photosynthetic, primarily marine ...

On September 2, Luo Dong-Gen and his research team from Peking University’s School of Life Sciences, McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Center for Quantitative Biology, and Center for Life ...

The tick of the world clock depends on hundreds of atomic oscillators positioned across the globe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...
