Building safer and more accessible nuclear clocks
Friday, 27 December 2024 10:56Scientists are making significant strides in creating nuclear clocks, a new frontier in ultra-precise timekeeping. Unlike optical atomic clocks that depend on electronic transitions, nuclear clocks harness the energy transitions within atomic nuclei. These transitions are less influenced by external forces, offering potentially unparalleled timekeeping accuracy. Despite their promise, nucl
Living in the deep, dark, slow lane: Insights from the first global appraisal of microbiomes in Earth's subsurface environments
Friday, 27 December 2024 10:56Which microbes thrive below us in darkness - in gold mines, in aquifers, in deep boreholes in the seafloor - and how do they compare to the microbiomes that envelop the Earth's surfaces, on land and sea? The first global study to embrace this huge question, conducted at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL), Woods Hole, reveals astonishingly high microbial diversity in some subsurface env
