Observation of the radiative decay of the ${}^{229}\mathrm{Th}$ nuclear clock isomer
The radionuclide thorium-229 features an isomer with an exceptionally low excitation energy that enables direct laser manipulation of nuclear states. It constitutes one of the leading candidates for use in next-generation optical clocks$^{1–3}$. This nuclear clock will be a unique tool for precise t...
