The circadian clock system (from the Latin "circa diem," about a day) allows organisms to anticipate periodic changes of geophysical time and to adjust to those changes. Nearly all cells comprise ...

A team of biologists has unraveled the biochemistry of how bacteria so precisely time cell division, a key element in understanding how all organisms from bacteria to humans use their biological ...

The key to increasing the overall performance of a synchronous design is increasing the frequency of the clock network. However, factors like timing margin, signal integrity, synchronizing related ...

The world's first mechanical clocks were tower clocks built in Europe around 1270 to 1300 during the renaissance period. These clocks did not yet have dials or hands but told the time by striking ...
