Scandium-based "nuclear" clock could provide unprecedented time measurement precision

Atomic resonance so narrow that it doesn't lose a second in 300 billion years
Forward-looking: Atomic clocks are extraordinarily precise and intricate timekeeping devices, capable of maintaining accuracy without losing a second over hundreds of millions of years. Currently, researchers are actively exploring the development of potential nuclear clocks that could offer even greater precision and reliability in time measurement.
