[JILA @JILAscience]

JILA researchers just took a major step toward next‑gen nuclear clocks. In a new @Nature study, @JunYeJILA's team tracked thorium‑doped crystals for nearly a year and found remarkably stable nuclear transitions—key for ultra‑precise, compact clocks.

[JILA @JILAscience]

In a new @Nature paper, JILA and @NIST Fellow and @CUBoulderphys prof Jun Ye and his team collaborated with @UCLA prof Eric Hudson to make a method for creating thin layers of thorium, a promising new platform for future #nuclearclocks.
