Recent reporting, analysis and explainers from the thorium-229 desk.
science
Researchers operated a thorium-229 nuclear clock by using absorption in a crystal to steer the laser probing the nuclei. They also used the clock to search for oscillations that could be caused by ultralight dark matter.
science
Researchers detected the low-energy nuclear resonance of thorium-229 using a continuous-wave laser and absorption measurements rather than slow fluorescence detection. The technique provides a faster spectroscopy and feedback method for developing a solid-state nuclear clock.
