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.
BusinessWeek March 15, 2004 John Carey	Physics: "Putting The Weirdness To Work" Scientists say quantum materials will be the basis for amazing devices, but when?
Technology Research News September 24, 2003 Eric Smalley	Laser made from single atom The simplest possible laser -- a single atom -- has been on the drawing board for decades. Researchers have finally achieved the extremely precise control needed to make a laser from just one atom. The first demonstration of a single-atom laser showed that it's a different animal -- it produces quantum light.
