SIR JOHN CARROLL 1 has recently discussed the possibility of recovering an absolute scale of time from the observation of nuclear decay processes. The essence of the following remarks is that the ...

A new clock generator IC from SpectraLinear opens a window on an interesting comparison between the problem of generating and distributing clocks for a mobile, media-centric personal computer ...

Scientists have found out how the two clocks talk to each other genetically. Plants' circadian clock -- the 24-hour cyclic rhythm -- plays a critical role in regulating aging, in particular in timing ...

Every day you get a day older. So do plants. While the biological daily clock ticks, time passes also for the aging clock. Scientists at the Center for Plant Aging Research, within the Institute for ...
