A collaboration between researchers in the US and Germany has made a major breakthrough in optical nuclear clocks, achieving laser-based excitation of Thoria-229 in a non-transparent host material.
Familiar risks to human existence such as nuclear weapons and climate change were cited by the scientists, along with new ...
In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...

Doomsday Clock now set at 85 seconds to midnight, signaling threat to human existence and planet
A Chicago-based group of scientists have once again warned the world is closer than ever to human-made destruction by moving the symbolic “Doomsday Clock” up to 85 seconds to midnight.
Researchers from Los Angeles, Munich, and Mainz open new avenues for nucleus-based quantum technologies A research team from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Ludwig Maximilian ...
Time is almost up on the way we track each second of the day, with optical atomic clocks set to redefine the way the world measures one second in the near future. Researchers from Adelaide University ...
Chinese research team achieved a major breakthrough in continuous-wave vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light sources, a longstanding bottleneck in the development of the nuclear clock, Science and Technology ...
Future Market Insights (FMI) estimates the Atomic Clock Market at USD 651.6 million in 2026 and projects it to reach USD ...
Last year, a UCLA-led team accomplished something scientists have been trying to do for 50 years. They made radioactive thorium nuclei absorb and emit photons like electrons in an atom do. This ...
