This phenomenon can help nuclear clocks excel in situations where atomic clocks falter. Scientists think that thorium-229 is ...
changes the mass number of the element by -4 and the atomic number by -2 so the remaining nucleus will be \(_{90}^{234}?\). A periodic table shows that element number 90 is thorium ...
En-route to nuclear clocks, researchers have found a resonant mode in thorium atom nuclei with a low temperature coefficient – nuclear oscillators are mooted initially as replacements for atomic ...
