Nuclear spectroscopy breakthrough could rewrite the fundamental constants of nature.
Findings could unlock the most accurate clock ever and allow advances like deep space navigation, communication.
By causing the electrons to bond with fluorine in a transparent crystal, UCLA physicists have finally succeeded in exciting neutrons in a thorium atom's nucleus using a moderate amount of laser light.
The new technology could find uses wherever extreme precision in timekeeping is required in sensing, communications and navigation.
Existing atomic clocks based on electrons are room-sized contraptions with vacuum chambers to trap atoms.
A thorium-based nuclear clock would be much smaller, more robust, more portable and more accurate.
