Chinese researchers have developed a thorium-229 nuclear optical clock, pushing precision timekeeping from electron transitions to transitions inside the atomic nucleus. Unlike conventional atomic clocks, which use electron transitions as a frequency reference, a nuclear clock uses transitions inside the nucleus. Because the nucleus is less affected by external electromagnetic disturbances, the technology could eventually provide a more stable and practical time standard. The research was published in the scientific journal Nature on October 7. #NuclearClock #QuantumTechnology #Science #China #Nature #coolchina 📺 Subscribe to our YouTube channel and stay updated with our latest analysis and interviews:👇 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrNz-aDmcr2uuto8_DL2jg 👈 Download our APP on Apple Store (iOS): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cctvnews-app/id922456579?l=zh&ls=1&mt=8 Download our APP on Google Play (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imib.cctv For
