China's thorium-229 nuclear clock outperforms Vienna's in stability
South China Morning PostLO·CN · AT·1 day ago
Researchers have demonstrated the first working nuclear clocks, using a laser to count oscillations of a nuclear transition. This breakthrough could enable ultra-precise timekeeping and new tests of fundamental physics. The claim is based on a published report, but independent verification is pending.
