A Time to Transcribe Circadian clocks control significant bodily functions: sleeping and feeding patterns, blood pressure, hormone production, body temperature, brain activity. Now, HHMI investigator Joseph Takahashi at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center is adding genome-wide transcription to that list.   |

Snapshot of Proteins Linked to Autism Researchers in France and the US have caught on camera the gentle embrace between two proteins that sit on either side of the junction between nerve cells. It's this short circuit that has thought to cause some types of autism. |

Quantum timepiece ticks the right boxes In a remarkable feat of quantum horology, scientists in the US have created a clock that derives its timing mechanism from nothing more complicated than the mass of an atom. The new clock could prove to be a new way to make highly accurate measurements of atomic mass. |

Light clock promises finer time Researchers have made a prototype atomic clock that divides time on optical radiation, rather than microwave radiation. Such clocks could eventually improve global positioning systems, make space exploration more accurate, and more accurately test the laws of physics. |
