‘Nuclear clock’ breakthrough paves the way for super-precise timekeeping

16 September 2024

Scientists have developed a new “nuclear clock” that is significantly more precise than existing atomic clocks. This clock relies on the decay of radioactive isotopes to measure time, making it incredibly accurate and stable. This breakthrough could lead to advancements in fields like navigation, communication, and fundamental physics research.
