Nuclear clocks, which are even more precise than atomic clocks, could offer scientists new avenues to explore fundamental forces of the universe. An international team, including LMU researchers, has made significant progress toward this, accurately characterizing the excitation energy of thorium-229, the element poised to be the timekeeping component in nuclear clocks. (Artist’s Concept.)Nuclear clocks could potentially enable scientists to delve into the universe’s fundamental forces in future research endeavors. A…
