Nuclear clocks arrive as a new tool for physics
Original: The age of nuclear clocks is here: A new tool for probing the laws of physics
Scientists have announced the arrival of nuclear clocks, a new class of timekeeping devices that use energy transitions in atomic nuclei rather than electrons. Reporting by EL PAÍS describes them as a breakthrough tool for probing the fundamental laws of physics, potentially more precise and stable than existing atomic clocks and useful for testing whether constants of nature truly remain constant.
Why now: A major scientific milestone in precision timekeeping was just reported, drawing attention from the physics community and science readers.
