The springs, the jewels, and the tiny wheels are gone, but a ghost of the ticks and tocks of traditional clocks may linger inside today's digital watches, a new and surprising discovery suggests.
In fact, an imperceptible murmur may emanate from cell phones, calculators, and other devices with liquid-crystal displays.
"It's an amusing thing," comments Robert B. Meyer of Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. "People will think, `My liquid crystal is actually chirping at me.'"
A liquid crystal is a fluid of rodlike molecules that line up in an ...
