- The scientists develop the first prototype of the nuclear clock, which is much more advanced than the atomic clocks we currently rely on.
- Current atomic clocks measures time with exceptional precision, losing only seconds across billions of years.
- Atomic clocks measure time based on electrons jumping between energy levels in atoms.
- But the nuclear clock focuses just on the nucleus.
- Atom is 100,000 times bigger than its nucleus.
- The nuclear clock’s energy level is closely coupled to strong forces in the nucleus.
- The atomic clocks mainly depend on electromagnetic forces.
