Nuclear clocks tick for the first time

Here’s a remarkable milestone: researchers have demonstrated the first nuclear clocks. Unlike today’s atomic clocks, which keep time using shifts in electrons, these new clocks rely on transitions inside atomic nuclei. Now, two research teams have shown that this approach could lead to an even more precise time standard. And here’s the exciting extra: one clock could also help scientists search for dark matter.
