Boston Linux Meeting Wednesday, October 20, 2010 Hardware Hacking: Atomic Clock Building

[Bruce Labitt]

   :-[

OK, I jumped the gun :)  I guess I'm reaaaally ahead of 
everyone on this!

That being said, are there any good primary sources that are 
affordable?  (Not WWV) Has there been any progress on chip 
atomic scale clocks?  A while back there was the NIST 
announcement ca 2005? on casc, but not much anymore.  IIRC 
it was only to consume < 100 mW and be the size of a sugar 
cube.
