The Global Positioning System (GPS), the Internet and many defense-critical applications for example—demand exceptionally precise time and frequency standards. Today’s systems, however, rely on 1950s ...

Discovered in the 1970s, circadian clocks are essential for the regulation of biological time in most cells in the human body. These internal mechanisms adjust biological processes to a 24-hour cycle, ...

China has quietly taken a decisive step in the new space race by building what it calls the first software system capable of ...

Sunnyvale, Calif.—Maxim Integrated Products has introduced the DS3102, a timing-card IC that provides full carrier-class, Stratum 3 clock synchronization for G.8262-compliant synchronous Ethernet ...

We originally discussed how clock synchronization works on the Bloomberg Terminal in September 2016. At that time, we had solutions in place for U.S. broker compliance with FINRA Rule 7430. These ...

Circadian clocks, which regulate the metabolic functions of all living beings over a period of about 24 hours, are one of the most fundamental biological mechanisms. In humans, their disruption is the ...

In the power generation industry, accurate time-keeping by supervisory control systems is of utmost importance. Operational failures can propagate rapidly across plant systems and trigger a chain ...

An international team of researchers has advanced their work with synchronizing a remote optical clock with a master clock by exploring what happens to time signals that need to travel through 12 ...

You'd think that synchronizing the clocks across a fleet of modern servers is a solved problem, but it's actually quite a hard challenge to solve, especially if you want to get to nanosecond accuracy.
