The age of nuclear clocks is here
Original: The age of nuclear clocks is here: A new tool for probing the laws of physics
Scientists have unveiled the first nuclear clock, a device that keeps time using transitions in an atomic nucleus rather than electron orbitals. Because nuclear transitions are far less sensitive to external interference, the clock could test whether fundamental constants of physics change over time and probe physics beyond the standard model. El País reports the breakthrough opens a new era for precision measurement.
Why now: A landmark physics breakthrough with implications for testing the fundamental laws of nature is drawing broad scientific and media attention.
