Nuclear clocks finally see the light
Researchers report progress toward nuclear clocks, a long-sought technology that would keep time using energy transitions in an atom's nucleus rather than its electron shells. The work marks a milestone in making such clocks see the light of day after decades of effort. Nuclear clocks promise greater precision and stability than today's atomic clocks, with potential impacts on fundamental physics tests, navigation and precision measurement, and scientists are now discussing what the breakthrough could enable.
Why now: A physics milestone toward a next-generation timekeeping technology has just been reported, drawing scientific and media attention.
