China has quietly solved a problem that only becomes obvious once you try to live and work off-world: clocks on the moon do ...

AI isn’t just bad at making clocks; it’s also bad at reading them. A 2025 study by technologist Alek Safar suggests that ...

A new clock generator for automotive applications simplifies timing architecture while accelerating functional safety development time by up to six weeks with built-in fault monitoring mechanisms for ...

Optical atomic clocks can increase the precision of time and geographic position a thousandfold in our mobile phones, computers, and GPS systems. However, they are currently too large and complex to ...

Multisource CTS represents a new clock-distribution technology that fills the methodology gap between conventional CTS and pure clock mesh. Whereas pure clock mesh delivers the best possible clock ...
