Cool.

Measurements show that the molecular clock had an average error of less than one microsecond per hour, which is comparable to miniature atomic clocks and four orders of magnitude more stable than mid-range crystal-oscillator clocks such as those used in smartphones. Even better, this clock is fully electronic, doesn’t require bulky or power-hungry support components to insulate and excite the molecules, and is fabricated using standard CMOS IC processes.
