World’s First Nuclear Clock
Researchers at JILA, a joint initiative of the University of Colorado Boulder and NIST, are nearing the completion of the world’s first nuclear clock, which promises unprecedented precision in timekeeping. Unlike atomic clocks that measure electromagnetic forces in atoms, nuclear clocks track energy changes within the atom’s nucleus, making them more stable and accurate. The necessary components have been successfully tested, and once finalized, nuclear clocks could simplify and enhance global timekeeping technologies, benefiting systems like GPS and international financial networks.
