The study shows that in quantum devices, reading a clock consumes far more energy than running it. This insight will help ...

When we think about cutting-edge technology, we usually picture Silicon Valley startups or futuristic labs. But here's the ...

While the average person would use a standard charger to top off their phone, [Tom Stanton] is no average man. Instead, he put mind to matter with an entire pendulum battery system. Using the ...

The classic design of a mechanical clock generally consists of a display, a way to store energy, a way to release that energy at regular intervals, and a mechanism to transmit it where it needs to ...

Once considered an oddity of quantum physics, time crystals could be a good building block for accurate clocks and sensors, ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. Johannes Van Ceulen made this clock ...

Time feels steady and familiar in daily life, but at the quantum level it becomes slippery. That puzzle now has a fresh twist thanks to new research led by physicists at École Polytechnique Fédérale ...

A new oral compound can reset the circadian clock independent of timing, dramatically speeding recovery from jet lag in animal models.

Biochemistry Professor Andy LiWang may have uncovered a universal mechanism that explains how bacteria, and potentially many ...

Engineer Tom Stanton, who also runs a YouTube channel with the same name, has ...

Researchers who last year genetically engineered bacteria to keep track of time by turning on and off fluorescent proteins within their cells have taken another step toward the construction of a ...
