Highly precise atomic clocks could soon get even better. Here's how

Superradiant atoms could help us measure time more precisely than ever before, a theory developed with the aid of the great-grandson of the "father of the atom," Niels Bohr.

I'm very very happy to hear that. Because they're using atomic energy for Destruction instead of Science and production. Who knows we could actually develop something like we see in science fiction. The mind is a miracle and a very organic computer if we put it to the right task. I really like this.

It would be interesting to watch the evolution of the synchronous release of the photons from what I think they are describing as a Bose-Einstein condensate of atoms.

MIT has now developed a camera system that can see a group of photons travel through matter, at a trillion frames per second. (See https://www.upworthy.com/mit-camera-speed-of-light-rp2 )

And there is also this: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/see-the-highest-resolution-atomic-image-ever-captured/ .

So, maybe soon we will actually be able to "see" some of the things that quantum theory describes, and figure out how it really behaves.

We submitted a proposal for Blue Origin's Reef Starter Innovation Challenge (2022)

Finalist: Enhanced Vibration Isolation - Endohedral Fullerenes Factory​

Endohedral Fullerenes (specialized Buckyballs worth $100M/gram) may also be used in these in tiny atomic clocks (possibly in smart phones) and can be 10x as efficient to make in space.​
