In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...

Many designs involve multiple engineering domains. For example, hybrid vehicles balance engine performance with emissions limits; UAVs balance thermal limitations on their batteries with ...

Microchip’s Switchtec Gen 5 PCIe switch reference designs help developers implement the PCIe switch into their systems with ...

Enhance the reliability of multi-clock, safety-critical designs and minimize the risk of costly late-stage bugs.

The Dutch word for sundial, zonnewijzer, can be literally translated into “Sun Pointer” according to [illusionmanager] — and he took that literal translation literally, building a reverse sundial so ...

BISC is an ultra-thin neural implant that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. Its tiny single-chip design packs tens of thousands of electrodes and supports ...

Clocks tick faster on Mars than they do on Earth, in part because Mars experiences less gravitational pull from the Sun. Now scientists have calculated just how much faster -- 477 microseconds, on ...
