A team of researchers at the University of Tokyo has developed a new type of optical atomic clock that boasts a 100 quadrillionth of a second accuracy. The optical lattice clock is the brain child of Professor Katori who shines his light on possible applications in the video below.

Andy Goldsworthy - Letting nature take its course
Andy Goldsworthy is a British sculptor, photographer and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculpture and land art situated in natural and urban settings.
He was born in Cheshire in 1956 and grew up on the Harrogate side of Leeds, West Yorkshire, in a house edging the green belt. From the age of 13 he worked on farms as a labourer. He has likened the repetitive quality of farm tasks to the routine of making sculpture: "A lot of my work is like picking potatoes; you have to get into the rhythm of it."
Photography plays a crucial role in his art due to its often ephemeral and transient state. According to Goldsworthy, "Each work grows, stays, decays – integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its heights, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expressed in the image. Process and decay are implicit."
Goldsworthy is generally considered the founder of modern rock balancing.

Goldsworthy's absolutely stunning documentary " Rivers and Tides " is available on youtube in full. ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307385/ ). It might take a while to get into but if you just go with the flow it'll take you on a journey.
