How to rebuild an atomic clock
Atomic clocks are crucial for everyday living as they help our telecommunications, electrical power grids, GPS systems, transportation, and other processes around the world keep precise time. Some of these clocks use lasers and special resonator cavi.....»»
Bang & Olufsen designed its new speaker for a long life, and inventible death
In a category defined by waste, the Beosound A5 portable speaker is a sleek and sustainable alternative. A tool. A clock. A piece of furniture. We all have utilitarian items that have been handed down to us by our parents or grandparents—thou.....»»
A highly precise terahertz molecular clock
In recent years, many physicists worldwide have introduced atomic clocks, systems to measure the passing of time that are based on quantum states of atoms. These clocks can have numerous valuable applications, for instance in the development of satel.....»»
Tougher conditions for US CHIPS Act may discourage Taiwan, Korea chipmakers from investing
The details of the US CHIPS and Science Act (also known as the CHIPS Act) subsidies, which aims to rebuild the country's local semiconductor supply chain, have been released, but it revealed numerous limits and constraints. The strictness may impact.....»»
Biological age is increased by stress and restored upon recovery, shows DNA methylation clock study
The biological age of humans and mice undergoes a rapid increase in response to diverse forms of stress, which is reversed following recovery from stress, according to a study publishing on April 21 in the journal Cell Metabolism. These changes occur.....»»
Study proves compatibility of two fundamental principles of quantum theory
Quantum theory, which was formulated in the first three decades of the twentieth century, describes a wide array of phenomena at the molecular, atomic and subatomic scales. Among its many technological applications, three have become ubiquitous in da.....»»

The comprehensive characterization of hydrogen at ultra-high pressures
Physicists and material scientists have been trying to metallize hydrogen for many decades, but they have not yet succeeded. In 1968, British physicist Neil Ashcroft predicted that atomic metallic hydrogen would be a high-temperature semiconductor......»»
Researchers capture first atomic-scale images depicting early stages of particle accelerator film formation
New research from a team of scientists at the Cornell University Center for Bright Beams has made significant strides in developing new techniques to guide the growth of materials used in next-generation particle accelerators......»»
Juice mission to Jupiter testing—down to the wire
Preparing the Juice mission to Jupiter has involved testing for all kinds of contingencies, down to the smallest of scales. This microscopic view shows surface damage to a tiny silver interconnector after being exposed to erosive atomic oxygen known.....»»
A novel way to get to the excited states of exotic nuclei
An atomic nucleus assumes discrete energy levels when added energy excites that nucleus. These energy levels are the nucleus' unique fingerprint; no two nuclei have identical energy patterns. For exotic nuclei, which have unbalanced numbers of proton.....»»
Previously unknown isotope of uranium discovered
A team of nuclear physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in Japan, working with a colleague from Korea, has discovered a previously unknown uranium isotope with atomic number 92 and mass 241. In their study, reported in the journal Physical.....»»
ALICE collaboration sees long-range spatial correspondence in simplest collisions yet
When atomic nuclei such as gold or lead nuclei collide at high energy in particle colliders, they can produce quark–gluon plasma (QGP)—a hot and dense state of matter predicted to have existed shortly after the Big Bang. One of the key features o.....»»
Structure of "oil-eating" enzyme opens door to bioengineered catalysts
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced the first atomic-level structure of an enzyme that selectively cuts carbon-hydrogen bonds—the first and most challenging step in turning simple hydrocarbons.....»»
Tempus Nectit: This Clock Tells Time By Knitting
One of the core experiences that many makers share is inspiration taking us on a learning journey. In this case, Kyle Rankin saw an article about a clock that knits to tell time on a popular blog. He shared the enthusiasm of other commenters thinkin.....»»
Dissecting the circadian clock in real time
As our bodies and minds continue to adjust to the recent time change, debates continue around society about whether to make daylight saving time a permanent fixture, eliminate it or stay with the current semi-annual clock adjustment......»»
Exploring the atomic flow of nanojoints in Ag nanowire interconnect networks for flexible electronics
Researchers from Xi'an Jiaotong University revealed the atomic flow behavior of nano-joints in AgNWs Interconnect Network. In order to further improve the joint quality, the thermal welding process and atomic evolution behavior of Ag nanowires were s.....»»
Molecular scale structure and kinetics of layer-by-layer peptide self-organization at atomically flat solid surfaces
In a study recently published in the journal ACS Nano, researchers from Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan, collaborating with University of Washington, Seattle, U.S., used frequency modulated atomic force microscopy to reveal the molecular archite.....»»
How to Make A Unique “Rewrite” Clock With Arduino, CNC, And Sequins
This project is a continuation of my quest to build a robotic clock that can write and rewrite the time continuously, day in and day out. My first attempt, Doodle Clock, was a failure due to the marker drying up. Doodle Clock #2 failed because.....»»
Toshiba to provide CXPI communication driver IC to reduce wiring harnesses
Starting this month, Toshiba Electronics will start to provide test samples of TB9032FNG - an automotive driver/receiver IC for the physical layer interface defined in the in-vehicle communications protocol Clock Extension Peripheral Interface (CXPI).....»»
