First Nuclear Clocks Kick Off a Precision Race
The first nuclear clocks have been demonstrated, opening a new competition in ultra-precise timekeeping. Unlike atomic clocks, which time electrons, nuclear clocks use energy transitions in an atom's nucleus, promising stability that could improve navigation, fundamental physics tests and searches for new physics. Researchers now face a race to push these early devices toward practical accuracy.
Why now: The first working nuclear clocks represent a major milestone in precision measurement, drawing attention across the physics community.
