Room-temperature perovskite laser diodes

Perovskite crystals can lase continuously at room temperature when lit by another light source. A directly powered laser diode has now worked at 8 kelvin; bringing that operation to room temperature remains the target.

Solid-state nuclear clock accuracy

Laser-controlled clocks can already use thorium-229 nuclei inside crystals. Can their environmental shifts be measured and controlled well enough to establish a complete fractional-frequency uncertainty near 10^-18?
