WINTHROP, N.Y. – Above an auto garage in this town near the Canadian border, there is a large gilt clock dial from a different era. Behind its facade, there lies a clock mechanism comprising an ...

Molecular clocks in our cells synchronize our bodies with the cycle of night and day, cue us for sleep and waking, and drive daily cycles in virtually every aspect of our physiology. Scientists ...

The human body clock is the curse of any shift worker or traveler arriving in a new time zone. Although one's body clock can be adjusted by external cues, such as light – a factor that devices such as ...

Traditional mechanical clockmaking is an art that despite being almost the archetype of precision engineering skill, appears rarely in our world of hardware hackers. That’s because making a clock ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism that governs how body clocks react to changes in the environment. The discovery could provide a solution for alleviating the detrimental effects of chronic ...

In this video, I’ll show you how to create a clock mechanism template from 5 mm plexiglass using the X-Tool P2 laser, step by step. From designing in Fusion 360, to laser cutting, to mounting the ...

The circadian clock in cyanobacteria represents one of the most elegant and thoroughly studied biological timekeeping systems. This oscillator is principally driven by the concerted actions of Kai ...

The activation and inactivation mechanisms of a key protein involved in the circadian clock system of cyanobacteria -- an important organism in the evolution of such internal clocks -- have long ...
