Scientists have developed the first self-regulated nuclear clock, based on the thorium-229 transition, a breakthrough in precision timekeeping. Because such clocks are sensitive to tiny changes in fundamental constants, they could be used to detect dark matter. Spanish-language science commentary is highlighting the device as a major step for fundamental physics.
Why now: A breakthrough linking precision nuclear clocks to the search for dark matter is drawing attention in science communities.
