World's first thorium-229 nuclear clock shows potential for ultra-precise timekeeping and fundamental physics tests.

Keeping time is easy, keeping precise time is hard, but a new type of clock based on atomic nuclei has pushed time-keeping ...

First dreamed up decades ago, the world's first nuclear clocks are set to improve quickly, becoming more precise and aiding the hunt for dark matter.

By using a rare thorium nucleus as a timekeeper, physicists have demonstrated the first working nuclear clock, a device that could lead to even more precise clocks and new ways to search for dark ...

WATERLOO, Ontario and RALEIGH, N.C. , Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As of today, North American entrepreneurs in Canada and the USA can go to nucleus.com and almost instantly activate Alice, a ...

Spatial separation of active from inactive fractions of the genome in the cell nucleus is crucial for gene expression control. A new study uncovers leading mechanisms of such separation and turns our ...

The headquarter of a eukaryotic cell is the nucleus, and most of the cell's information and instructions are stored there in the form of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA, which is twisted, rolled ...
