Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve.

Scientists have captured the moment a laser "comes to life"—and what they found challenges long-held beliefs. Using a special ...

A hybrid voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) architecture based on a ring oscillator with inductive loading is proposed. It exhibits a better phase noise/power figure-of-merit (FOM) than a standard ...

This paper proposes a low-noise digital-to-frequency converter (DFC) for fractional-N frequency synthesis. The DFC first employs a subharmonic injection-locked ring oscillator (ILRO) to generate low ...

We pit five of today's most powerful, flexible and versatile synth plugins against each other to find out who comes out on ...
