World-first nuclear clock prototype could outperform atomic clocks

Atomic clocks are the most accurate timekeepers we have, losing only seconds across billions of years. But apparently that’s not accurate enough – nuclear clocks could steal their thunder, speeding up GPS and the internet, among other things. Now, scie… Continue reading World-first nuclear clock prototype could outperform atomic clocks

Perovskite crystals given new job as nuclear radiation detectors

Perovskite crystals are quickly gaining a name for themselves in the solar energy field, thanks to their impressive ability to convert photons into electricity. But scientists have now tweaked this process to pick up neutrons instead, making an effecti… Continue reading Perovskite crystals given new job as nuclear radiation detectors
