First there were atomic clocks that beat at microwave frequencies. Then along came optical clocks that provide higher frequency standards. Now, physicists in the US have unveiled plans to build the first “nuclear clock” that runs at still higher frequencies. And because it is based on a solid material, the team claims that such a frequency standard could be far less complicated than gas-based atomic and optical clocks – while delivering the same or better accuracy.
