A Nuclear Clock So Precise It Could Redefine Time Itself

JILA researchers are pioneering a nuclear clock using thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to atomic clocks. By embedding thorium into a solid-state crystal, they have found a nuclear transition largely resistant to temperature changes, crucial for precision timekeeping. Their work could not only redefine timekeeping but also open doors to detecting new physics. Pushing […] Read More
