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
