atomic nucleus, involving protons and neutrons. <\/p>\n<p>Atomic clocks have been used to keep precise measures of time and were first created in 1949 and, despite the name, do not use nuclear fusion or fission. <\/p>\n<p>The world&#8217;s best clocks have relied on electrons jumping between energy levels in atoms but the discovery has shown that the reference for a clock can come from the nucleus itself. <\/p>\n<p>The research teams from China\u2019s Tsinghua University and other institutions in the country and Austria\u2019s TU Wien reported their breakthroughs separately in two papers published in Nature on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b

Summit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The clock uses thorium-229, a rare atom whose nucleus can switch energy states using ultraviolet light from a laser. It is the only nucleus known to work this way.<\/p>\n<p>The team built a laser that makes ultraviolet light at 148.4 nanometres and aimed it at small calcium fluoride crystals containing thorium-229.<\/p>\n<p>The key finding was that the nuclear clocks worked. The laser stayed locked to the thorium-229 nucleus and kept steady time, reaching a precision of about one part in a quadrillion (10\u207b\u00b9\u2075) over the test period. <\/p>\n<p>While precise timekeeping is vital for everyday technologies such as satellite navigation and telecommunications, nuclear clocks could make these systems more precise<\/p>\n<p>They could also be important in fundamental physics, the paper reads, however, it does not specify the exact use cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                                  Go to accessibility shortcuts<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-article-share-comment u-align-items-center u-display-flex\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__links u-align-items-center u-display-flex u-justify-content-center js-c-article-share-comment-share\"><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Share<\/span><\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label\">Comments<\/span><span class=\"c-article-share-comment__label c-article-share-comment__label--always\">Add Euronews on Google<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"adb-article-you-might-also-like\" class=\"perf-cv-auto c-article-you-might-also-like\">\n<h2 class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__title\">\n        Read more<br \/>\n      <\/h2>\n<div class=\"c-article-you-might-also-like__container\">\n<article id=\"abe-2931944-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1\" data-nid=\"2931944\" data-cid=\"9943860\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2931944-label-pos0-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/38\/60\/480x270_cmsv2_f093ccf5-47f6-5be1-b8dc-3dd8cd3827ea-9943860.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Meeting in the Parliament Hall at Folketing Hall at Christiansborg, Copenhagen, Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026.\" height=\"9\" width=\"16\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"the-media-object__content\">\n                    Tech News<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"the-media-object__title  \">\n<p>    Denmark introduces bill to protect people\u2019s faces and voices from deepfakes<br \/>\n  <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"abe-2931796-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object m-modeMobile-1 m-modeDesktop-1 the-media-object--has-video\" data-nid=\"2931796\" data-cid=\"9943228\" data-part-label=\"Partner content\">\n<figure id=\"abe-2931796-label-pos1-c-article-you-might-also-like__item\" class=\"the-media-object__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"the-media-object__image\" src=\"https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/32\/28\/480x270_cmsv2_fcbf6d81-8482-54c9-a301-689b56bb3092-9943228.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Florence Pugh poses at the Jaguar Type 01 launch event at Storied on Tuesday, Oct. 6, 2026, in New York.

It is the only nucleus known to work this way.The team built a laser that makes ultraviolet light at 148.4 nanometres and aimed it at small calcium fluoride crystals containing thorium-229.The key finding was that the nuclear clocks worked. The laser stayed locked to the thorium-229 nucleus and kept steady time, reaching a precision of about one part in a quadrillion (10\u207b\u00b9\u2075) over the test period.\u00a0While precise timekeeping is vital for everyday technologies such as satellite navigation and telecommunications, nuclear clocks could make these systems more preciseThey could also be important in fundamental physics, the paper reads, however, it does not specify the exact use cases.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/2026\/10\/08\/scientists-in-austria-and-china-create-the-worlds-first-nuclear-clocks-heres-why-it-matter&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/94\/43\/43\/1200x675_cmsv2_029aea8d-481d-5a45-a488-a6113d5fdbc6-9944343.jpg&#8221;] Culture news Michael Jackson&#8217;s Thriller jacket could fetch a fortune at auction Europe News Royal Navy sailor appears in court accused of spying for Russia Iran Iran strikes tankers outside Hormuz in signs of expanding campaign Europe News EU presses Russia for more details on suspected plague case Culture news Michael Jackson&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2186147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2186147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2186147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2186147\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2186147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2186147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2186147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
