timekeeping

JILA and NIST Fellows Ana Maria Rey, Jun Ye, and Adam Kaufman have been highlighted in a recent Financial Times article, "The Mind-Bending New Science of Measuring Time," by Oliver Roeder. The piece delves into the forefront of precision timekeeping and its implications for understanding fundamental physics.

In a recent CNN article, groundbreaking research led by JILA and NIST Fellow Jun Ye and his team was highlighted for its remarkable advancements in nuclear clock technology. The article emphasized how their work builds upon the pioneering efforts of scientists who embedded thorium-229 into crystals in 2023, allowing for enhanced signal tracking by suppressing noise from nuclear decay.
