Nuclear clock technology made history as two independent teams -- Vienna's TU Wien and Beijing's Tsinghua University -- simultaneously built the world's first working thorium-229 nuclear clocks. The ...
The world’s network of atomic clocks is already mind-bogglingly accurate. They also underpin a slew of modern necessities, ...
A breakthrough in chronometry decades in the making could redefine the limits of how we keep time. Using atoms of thorium-229, physicists have built functional clocks based not on the oscillations of ...
