Christopher Nolan is perhaps the defining director of our time. The auteur is the master of IMAX-scale blockbusters, ...

Sometimes the best places are the ones that don’t need to shout about how great they are. Salamanca Mall Antiques in ...

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 ...

Perfect timekeeping is more complicated than you think. Most clocks slow down over time (not that many people notice), and tiny imperfections in the manufacturing process ensure that no two timepieces ...

By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that could lead to even more precise clocks and new ways to search for dark ...

Atomic clocks have been around for nearly 80 years, but their successors—nuclear clocks—are ready to take the stage. Two independent studies, both uploaded as preprints, report reliable timekeeping ...

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

The world's first nuclear clocks have ticked. A team of physicists has demonstrated a working timekeeping device regulated not by orbiting electrons — as in conventional atomic clocks — but by ...

Two independent research teams have achieved a longstanding goal in physics: building a working nuclear clock. The devices, developed by Beichen Huang and colleagues at Tsinghua University and by Luca ...

Two teams of physicists have made the world’s first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom’s nucleus, rather than those of its electrons ...
