New super-accurate atomic clock could be ultra-portable thanks to chilly atoms
2013-11-08 19:50:11| Extremetech
The smallest atomic clocks are lacking in long-term accuracy, and larger clocks are incredibly expensive. The National Institute of Standards and Technology hopes to make a small atomic clock that never needs calibration using cooled rubidium atoms.
Crystal-encased atoms could harvest waste heat to generate power
2013-09-25 14:59:09| Extremetech
Technology contunes advancing at a merciless rate, but it's still not as efficient as it could be. All electronic devices lose some energy to heat -- energy that could be put to better use. A team of researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) believe they have developed a new class of thermoelectric crystalline materials that could harvest that heat and turn it into electricity with high efficiency.

How to write with single atoms, on the cheap
2013-07-05 17:51:47| Extremetech
Boston University researchers say they've taken nano-scale lithography to the a new level of usefulness, creating a machine that can lay down previously impossible patterns at the atomic scale, and do it without hassle or expense.
