The quest for an optical nuclear frequency standard, the ‘nuclear clock’ based on the elusive and uniquely low-energetic ‘thorium isomer’ 229mTh, has increasingly triggered experimental and theoretical research activities in numerous groups worldwide in the last decade. Today’s most precise timekeeping is based on optical atomic clocks. However, those could potentially be outperformed by a...
