It’s all physics. How things work, that is. You’ve heard me say that before in this column, but I suppose I’m a little biased (or realistic) as my first degree is in physics — applied physics, to be ...

Early yesterday morning, NASA launched a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket into orbit with a hodgepodge of science missions aboard. One of the most intriguing payloads was a clock, which will tick along for ...

NASA is set to launch an incredible new atomic clock into orbit on a Falcon Heavy Monday (June 24) in a technology demonstration mission that could transform the way humans explore space. The Deep ...

SiTime, which is bringing MEMS (microelectromechanical-system)-based oscillators into volume production, aims to replace quartz as the frequency reference in clock and timing oscillators. The company ...

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 ...

Oscillators are as ubiquitous—and, some might argue, as important—as power supplies in electronics systems, finding use in anything that needs a timing signal, from digital watches to TVs and PCs.

Integrated Device Technology has a range of CMOS oscillators, the MM8202 and the MM8102 which the company claims offers “quartz-crystal-level performance”. According to Michael McCorquodale, general ...

No audio available for this content. The National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) is readying for an ultra-precise atomic clock that could not only transform the navigation of deep space ...

Engineers have frequently faced a dilemma when considering frequency components for medical instrumentation and other applications. A nontemperature-compensated clock oscillator, for instance, carries ...
