Technology Research News October 6, 2004 Eric Smalley	Atomic clock to sync handhelds Its physics package, or atomic works, is about the size of a grain of rice, making it potentially easy to mass produce and integrate with hand-helds and other electronics. It is accurate within 25 microseconds per day, or about a second per 126 years.
