negative impact on women than men because it makes them more
likely to smoke, drink coffee and eat unhealthy food.

Roland Piquepaille writes "TheNational Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has announcedthat a new experimental atomic clock based on a single mercury atom isnow at least five times more precise than NIST-F1, the U.S. standardclock. This mercury atomic clock'would neither gain nor lose a second in about 400 million years' whileit would take 'only' 70 million years to NIST-F1, based on a 'fountain'of cesium atoms, to gain or lose a second. But even if this new kind ofoptical atomic clock is more accurate than cesium microwave clocks, itwill take a while before such a design can be accepted as aninternational standard. A ZDNet summary contains pictures and more details about the world's most precise clock."
