Science is about to 'redefine the concept of a second' thanks to this new research
in an effort to measure time even more precisely, researchers from six european countries joined forces to compare ten ultra-precise optical clocks at the same time.

Developing a nuclear clock so precise it could redefine time
researchers at jila are pioneering the development of a nuclear clock using the element thorium-229, which offers unprecedented stability compared to conventional atomic clocks.
Close-up of the world's most accurate atomic clock
the team has been developing this clock for many years, with an accuracy that conventional atomic clocks using cesium atoms cannot achieve.
