Nanoseconds in a sentence

Knowledge is bounced off from one time zone to the other in nanoseconds, creating a level playing field for everyone who can access the internet.

Breakdown occurs quite abruptly (typically in nanoseconds ), resulting in the formation of an electrically conductive path and a disruptive discharge through the material.

By contrast, the time taken to access a given byte of information stored in random-access memory is measured in billionths of a second, or nanoseconds.

Decoherence times for candidate systems, in particular the transverse relaxation time T 2 (for NMR and MRI technology, also called the dephasing time), typically range between nanoseconds and seconds at low temperature.

For an 8-bit unit, conversion takes place in a few tens of nanoseconds.

For scientific purposes, precision clocks can be synchronized to within a few nanoseconds by dedicated satellite channels.

Image reconstruction The raw data collected by a PET scanner are a list of 'coincidence events' representing near-simultaneous detection (typically, within a window of 6 to 12 nanoseconds of each other) of annihilation photons by a pair of detectors.

In short, the electrons of the atoms in the atomizer can be promoted to higher orbitals (excited state) for a short period of time (nanoseconds) by absorbing a defined quantity of energy (radiation of a given wavelength ).

Of these, 90m2 Zr has the shortest half-life at 131 nanoseconds.

Photons that do not arrive in temporal "pairs" (i.e. within a timing-window of a few nanoseconds) are ignored.

The granularity of the time value is usually a tick (100 nanoseconds).

The least stable ground state isotope is astatine-213, with a half-life of 125 nanoseconds.

These updates synchronize the atomic clocks on board the satellites to within a few nanoseconds of each other, and adjust the ephemeris of each satellite's internal orbital model.

The time in these systems is stored as the quantity of a particular time unit (days, seconds, nanoseconds, etc.) that has elapsed since a stated time (usually midnight UTC at the beginning of the given date).

They are unstable, with the charged pions and decaying with a mean lifetime of 26 nanoseconds (main seconds), and the neutral pion decaying with a much shorter lifetime of main seconds.

This length of time can be anywhere from a few nanoseconds to years or much longer.

Time of day is expressed by a count of seconds of a day, plus optional milliseconds, microseconds and nanoseconds in separate fields.

TTL was also fast, with some variations achieving switching times as low as twenty nanoseconds.
