Scientists have announced the first self-regulated nuclear clock, built around the thorium-229 transition. The development is being described as a milestone in precision timekeeping and as a new tool in the search for dark matter, since such a clock could probe whether fundamental constants of physics change over time. The announcement is drawing attention in Spanish-language science discussions.
Why now: The announcement combines a breakthrough in precision measurement with the tantalising prospect of detecting dark matter, making it a hot physics story.
