Here’s How Nuclear Clocks Could Redefine Time and Reshape Modern Technology

Timekeeping is entering a new era with nuclear clocks, capable of achieving accuracy to the 19th decimal place. Current atomic clocks rely on caesium-133, but innovations with thorium-229’s nuclear transitions, excited by ultraviolet light, promise unprecedented precision. Scientists aim to redefine the second using elements like strontium by 2030, paving the way fo…
