Although terrestrial gamma - ray flashes typically last between 300 and 400 microseconds, the burst observed by the satellite sensors in 2006 lasted a mere 70 microseconds, the researchers report online and in a forthcoming issue of Geophysical Research Letters.

Considering the short lifetime of Rydberg atoms — they decay after a couple of ten microseconds — the generation of distinct crystal phases made of a few atoms is an amazing experimental success made possible only by the sophisticated methods of high precision steering of atoms developed in the Bloch group.

The new detector system was triggered by a neutron or gamma - ray strike, and then matched that to any sonoluminescent flash that happened within 10 microseconds before or after the strike.

It is shaping up to be a smart bet, as receivers get better: first - generation models handled ghosts that lagged the main signal by no more than 10 microseconds and were no stronger than half the main signal.

The source now unveiled by the University of Warsaw physicists represents the first implementation of this concept, and one that's much more integrated: here, all the photons are created immediately within the quantum memory as a result of the laser pulse, which lasts only microseconds.

Calculations showed that the time scale required to wait for a group of 10 photons would then be shortened by a whopping ten orders of magnitude: from years down to microseconds!

Our mood can be affected in microseconds by the smile, or frown, on a passerby's face.

Variable - geometry, sequential twin - scroll turbochargers are powered by the exhaust gases, while a third electric supercharger — powered by Bentley's innovative 48V system — spools up within 30 microseconds to eliminate turbo lag.

It is used by the luxury SUV Bentayga and it's the same power plant used by the mighty Audi SQ7: a 4.0 - litre V8 TDI featuring variable - geometry, sequential twin - scroll turbochargers that are powered by the exhaust gases, while a third electric supercharger — powered by Bentley's innovative 48V system — spools up within 30 microseconds to minimize turbo lag.

SSDs are based on volatile memory such as DRAM and are characterized by ultrafast data access, generally less than 10 microseconds, and are used primarily to accelerate applications that would otherwise be held back by the latency of Flash SSDs or traditional HDDs.

Over 50 major earthquakes have shaken the world, which have shortened the Earth day by 2.68 microseconds.

But by adding extra GHGs, there are MORE absorptions, and the energy is resident in the GHGs for more microseconds, which raises the time that the energy is resident in the air during its transit to space, thus causing the GHG global warming.

The mechanism as I have been taught (painfully) in the site, is because the addition of GHG absorbtion causes the energy to stay in the GHG for a few extra microseconds of residence time before the energy is (mostly) returned to the air by molecular collisions, as the energy is transported from ground to space an a series of millions -LRB-?)

One is that the mechanism for the GHG warming is that the radiated energy from the air is absorbed by the GHGs to heat the GHG molecule to 900 + degrees, then the energy is released within microseconds and a few centimeters back to the air by collisions with the air, to return the air & GHGs to equilibrium temperature.
