The first nuclear clock based on thorium-229 shows unprecedented precision and may test if fundamental constants change.

For some 15 years, I have followed the re-emergence of nuclear Thorium or ‘the green nuclear’ as it is often referred to. Way ...

Since 2018, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been trucking material from Luckey, Ohio, where beryllium, a toxic metal, ...

Atomic clocks have been used for decades – but now, even greater precision has become possible: presenting the world's first ...

Scientists at JILA in the US have used thorium to make a nuclear clock that is much more accurate and precise than an atomic clock.

The low-energy excited state of thorium-229 (229Th) isotope nucleus has recently gained much attention owing to it being an ideal candidate for ultra-precise nuclear clocks. Building such ...
