Two independent teams of scientists have created the first functional clocks that can keep ultraprecise time using the nuclei ...

By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that ...

Nuclear clocks should be more robust and portable than the best available clocks today because nuclei are hard to perturb and ...

Keeping time is easy, keeping precise time is hard, but a new type of clock based on atomic nuclei has pushed time-keeping ...

Two teams of physicists have made the world’s first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices use fluctuations in the energy ...

Atomic clocks leveraged the atom to keep time, but new innovations will use the nucleus itself.

First dreamed up decades ago, the world's first nuclear clocks are set to improve quickly, becoming more precise and aiding the hunt for dark matter.

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental disturbances. According to new research, that dream might soon become reality ...

Research has revealed how bacteria rely on circadian clocks to control the spread of their multicellular colonies. The ...
