Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

In quartz clocks, the vibrations of a quartz crystal are controlled and used to measure time. <div class="section1"><div class="Normal">In quartz clocks, the ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This unit is all that remains of a ...

The tick of the world clock depends on hundreds of atomic oscillators positioned across the globe. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works ...

If you’re looking for a 1-second time reference, you’d probably just grab a GPS module off the shelf and use the 1PPS output. As demonstrated by [InazumaDenki], though, an old quartz clock module can ...

The familiar tick-tock of wall clocks originates from the escapement mechanism, which controls gear movement in precise steps. While our brains perceive two distinct sounds, clocks actually produce ...

Markus Lutz is CTO and Founder of SiTime Corporation. He is a MEMS expert, a prolific entrepreneur and inventor who holds over 100 patents. If there is one thing that modern society has in common with ...

While computer chips keep shrinking, the size of gadgets is still limited, in part, by relatively large pieces of quartz that act as pacemakers for electronic circuits. But within the next few months, ...

Here is one basic circuit of a simple but accurate 1Hz timebase generator built around a standard Quartz clock circuit board. Just lift the clock PCB from any cheap quartz clock and carefully remove ...

Analog faces on new Apple Watches have a similar behavior, using a sweeping seconds hand in active mode and a ticking seconds hand in always on mode. If you’re like me and prefer the quartz-like ...
