Gears have powered the world for millennia, from clock machines to car engines. But miniaturizing them to microscopic ...

[ekaggrat] designed a 3d-printed clock that’s fairly simple to make and looks awesome. The clock features a series of 3d-printed gears, all driven by a single stepper motor that [ekaggrat] found in ...

If left to run for some 14 billion years — roughly the current age of the universe — a new type of atomic clock could keep accurate time to within a tenth of a second. The design by US experts makes ...

A clock based on a design from 300 years ago has stunned experts by keeping accurate to a second for 100 days. The modern-day Martin Burgess Clock B is based on John Harrison's 18th century clock, ...

Simulation lets you design a transceiver clocking and frequency-planning strategy while making the required tradeoffs between performance and cost. Clock-distribution devices create multiple copies of ...

The modern ASIC consists of millions of gates and billions of transistors that often can be operating in several domains having different voltages and clock frequencies. To avoid data loss, designers ...

A recent report looks at a 'clock in a test tube' composed of the cyanobacterial proteins KaiA, KaiB and KaiC, revealing that these dancing proteins swap partners to keep track of time. The clarity, ...

The most powerful piece of information design of the 20th century was designed by a landscape painter. In 1943, the nuclear physicist Alexander Langsdorf Jr. was called to Chicago to join hundreds of ...

Apple shells out many millions of dollars to license the iconic Swiss clock-face design it apparently adapted for use in iOS 6, says a news agency report. Edward Moyer Former Senior Editor Ed is a ...
