Ultraprecise clocks that use transitions in atomic nuclei to keep time show promise as a next-generation time standard and for probing fundamental physics.

Nuclear clock technology made history as two independent teams -- Vienna's TU Wien and Beijing's Tsinghua University -- simultaneously built the world's first working thorium-229 nuclear clocks. The ...

What you'll discover in this article ・The first thorium-229 nuclear clock has been achieved. ・It is not as precise as regular atomic clocks, but it could be a revolutionary tool in probing fundamental ...

Physicists have built the first stand-alone optical nuclear clock by locking a continuous-wave laser to the thorium-229 ...

A thorium-229 nuclear clock in Vienna ran for more than 24 hours without intervention, automatically correcting its laser ...

A thorium-229 nuclear clock uses feedback from atomic nuclei to correct laser-frequency drift, operating for more than 24 ...

Austrian collaboration has demonstrated the first continuously operating optical nuclear clock based on thorium-229, running ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, that transmission of ultrastable optical signals from optical clocks across tens of kilometers of deployed multicore fiber is compatible with simultaneous ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

What a time to be alive when you can find inexpensive microcontrollers that come with programmable(ish) logic that can operate independently of the system clock. [David Johnson-Davies] recently built ...
