Google and British billionaire Alex Gerko’s XTX Markets have backed German start-up Proxima Fusion, broadening their bets on ...

Two independent teams of scientists have created the first functional clocks that can keep ultraprecise time using the nuclei ...

First dreamed up decades ago, the world's first nuclear clocks are set to improve quickly, becoming more precise and aiding the hunt for dark matter.

But physicists have long dreamt of even better clocks that run on atomic nuclei, which are less sensitive to environmental disturbances. According to new research, that dream might soon become reality ...

By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that could lead to even more precise clocks and new ways to search for dark ...

A clock based on radioactive thorium atoms realises a long-held ambition, demonstrating a technology that could eventually beat the accuracy of today’s best atomic clocks ...

ISLAMABAD: Chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), Dr. Raja Ali Raza Anwar, on Monday inaugurated the 51st ...

These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom’s nucleus, rather than those of its electrons, which atomic clocks currently use to define the length of a second ...

Uzbekistan has made significant progress in areas such as legal and regulatory frameworks, training and nuclear safety and security measures, an International Atomic Energy Agency mission has reported ...

Think about the atomic age. The early work in the United States was carried out across a classified but federally accountable archipelago with national laboratories in four sites: Berkeley, Oak Ridge, ...

(koto_feja/Getty Images) A breakthrough in chronometry decades in the making could redefine the limits of how we keep time. Using atoms of thorium-229, physicists have built functional clocks based ...
