The world's first nuclear clock just ticked on — and it could help detect a fifth fundamental force of physics

For decades, physicists have pursued a goal that sounds nearly impossible: to build a clock that keeps time using an atom's nucleus rather than the electrons orbiting it. "Having worked in this field ...
