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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Living organisms, from plants to fungi to animals, have a circadian rhythm – a 24 hour cycle of physiological events. New findings have elucidated more about how these natural clocks are related to ...

Mystery clocks have been popular since the 18th century. The clock seems to have no mechanism but keeps time. One of the most famous is the swinging-arm clock. A tall classical figure, usually bronze, ...

Researchers have identified a key mechanism involved with the setting of the circadian clock of cyanobacteria—a model organism for study by chronobiologists due to the organism having one of the ...
