Nuclear Clocks

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Two teams report first working nuclear clocks in Nature

Two research groups, led by Toscani De Col and by Huang, have published the first demonstrations of a working nuclear clock in Nature. Unlike atomic clocks, which track electron transitions, these devices measure energy transitions within atomic nuclei, offering a potentially more precise timekeeping method. The Toscani De Col team also showed their clock could be used to search for a candidate form of dark matter.
