IEEE Spectrum May 2005 Linda Geppert	Move Over, Quartz The atomic clock gets smaller and cheaper.
Technology Research News December 15, 2004 Eric Smalley	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.
Wired December 2001	Optical Atomic Clock The optical clock signals a paradigm shift: It measures time using the femtosecond -- one-quadrillionth of a second -- making it potentially 1,000 times more precise than today's time leader...
Chemistry World January 10, 2013 Simon Hadlington	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.
Technology Research News June 30, 2004	Chip protects single atoms Researchers have found a way to closely control the quantum states, or traits, of single atoms trapped in a microchip. The method is a step toward building devices like miniature atomic clocks that are an order of magnitude more accurate than those that exist today.
