Off the coast of Japan, biologists netted a pea-size jellyfish with an unusual circadian clock — a chance finding that suggests there are likely more overlooked biological timekeeping mechanisms to be ...

How can we measure time more than 500 million years into the past? A study recently published in Nature Communications by researchers at the University of Lausanne presents a new geological "rock ...

Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time.

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) based on the boost principle can convert a low voltage into a higher voltage. For this purpose, the standard boost topology is used as shown in Figure 1. 1. A simple ...
