During the past year at the Cruft Laboratory Professor G. W. Pierce has been engaged in making some precision clocks for laboratory and observatory use. One of the clocks employs a pendulum enclosed ...

Physicists at the Ural Federal University (UrFU) have created a theory for the solidification of iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) alloy (invar). They determined that an important role in the technology of creating ...

Clocks pervade our lives, from the cellular clocks inside our bodies to the atomic clocks that underlie satellite navigation. These atomic clocks can measure time accurately to within one second in ...
