## Caption

This new optical clock uses a single laser and doesn't require cryogenic temperatures.

The clock uses a frequency comb to directly excite a two-photon transition, which achieves the same performance as a traditional atomic clock with two lasers. 

The advance is the first step toward bringing high-performing atomic clocks into everyday applications and even in people's homes. It can also significantly enhance GPS, which relies on satellite-based atomic clocks.
