Best Ever Clocks: Breakthrough Paves Way for Ultra-Precise ‘Nuclear’ Timekeepers

22 May 2024

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in clock technology, paving the way for ultra-precise “nuclear” timekeepers. By utilizing laser-cooled atoms, researchers achieved unprecedented levels of precision in atomic clocks. The clocks, which are based on the vibrations of atoms, offer accuracy that could surpass current timekeeping standards by up to a factor of 100. This breakthrough has potential implications for various fields, including navigation systems, telecommunications, and scientific research.
