Scientists build a nuclear clock that could make atomic clocks obsolete
ScienceDailyScientists build a nuclear clock that could make atomic clocks obsolete Scientists in Vienna have achieved a major breakthrough in timekeeping by creating the world's first self-stabilizing nuclear clock, a technology that could eventually surpass even the most precise atomic clocks. Instead of relying on electrons in atoms, the clock uses the tiny nuclei of thorium atoms, which are far less sensitive to outside disturbances. www.sciencedaily.com

The article basically says it's a self stabilizing clock based on Thorium atoms, which are more stable than others

Ahh I get it now. Not really but kinda

Aight I think we can stop innovating clocks at this point. They're good enough. Please go back to cancer
