A microsecond is equal to 1000 nanoseconds or of a millisecond. The circuits were capable of reliably switching pulses as narrow as one microsecond. By using a high-voltage plasma discharge, DNA was efficiently delivered following very short (microsecond) pulses. GPS time stamping can provide a theoretical accuracy of synchronization better than 1 microsecond. These intermediates can have microsecond or longer lifetimes in water. In better oscilloscopes, it delays the signal by a fraction of a microsecond. Phosphors are available with persistences ranging from less than one microsecond to several seconds. Within a microsecond or less, the molecules will change to their triplet state. To control the reaction, calculations down to the microsecond level were needed. When touching an object this energy is discharged in less than a microsecond. The energy of the nuclear explosion is released in one microsecond. This later request led to the name of the prospective design, Muse, for MicroSecond Engine. Typical values of critical static d"v"/d"t" are in the terms of volts per microsecond. For example, one microsecond is formula 2.
