Proposed nuclear clock may keep time with the UniverseSydney, Australia (SPX) Mar 12, 2012 A proposed new time-keeping system tied to the orbiting of a neutron around an atomic nucleus could have such unprecedented accuracy that it neither gains nor loses 1/20th of a second in 14 billion years - the age of the Universe. "This is nearly 100 times more accurate than the best atomic clocks we have now," says one of the researchers, Scientia Professor Victor Flambaum, who is Head of Theoretical Physics in the UNSW School of Physics. "It would allow scientists to test fundamental physi ... read more |
