1. Researchers at JILA have developed an atomic clock that can detect gravity effects at the microscopic scale. 2. The clock uses visible light waves for more precise timekeeping, potentially losing only one second every 30 billion years. 3. This new clock design allows detection of relativistic effects on timekeeping at the submillimeter scale, bridging the gap between quantum mechanics and general relativity.
