NIST restored the precision of its atomic clocks after a power outage caused by a power outage disrupted operations. Discover ...

Sommarøy’s time-free zone was, in a sense, an attempt by residents to reclaim their connection to a more natural measure of time. After all, every year, the island experiences roughly 1,656 hours of ...

A destructive windstorm disrupted the power supply to more than a dozen atomic clocks that keep official time in the United ...

What makes someone a "morning lark" or a "night owl?" Why does jet lag hit us so hard, and why do some people struggle each ...

Officials said the error is likely too minute for the general public to clock it, but it could affect applications such as critical infrastructure, telecommunications and GPS signals.

Vikas Jodigatte Nagaraj pushes for rigor, efficiency, and environmental awareness in engineering—and he believes in breaking down the walls between hardware and software. That mind-set keeps shaping ...

Abstract: This letter proposes using intermittent chaotic clocks, generated from chaotic maps, to drive cryptographic chips running the advanced encryption standard as a countermeasure against ...

The emission of photons by excited nuclei has been explored for timekeeping and sensing, but nuclear processes that eject electrons offer practical advantages. Electrons in atoms can exist only in ...

Abstract: Through the Verilog-based Adaptive Logic Block (ALB) design framework, programmers gain dynamic reconfiguration powers in hardware that operate at runtime. The analog ALB design employs ...
