NASA’s Artemis II crew spotted yellow, green and “swamp-like” hues on the moon, and a new report shows how this trippy color map will guide future missions.

A Thorium-229 nucleus is irradiated with stabilized laser light (Laser 1). A second Laser (Laser 2) is used to probe the atomic shell's hyperfinestructure in order to determine via the change of the nuclear spin state if the nucleus was successfully excited. A photomultiplier tube (PMT) is used to probe if Laser 2 is on resonance. Based on the PMT signal Laser 1 is actively stabilized to the nuclear transition via a feedbackloop. In this way the frequency of Laser 1 will exactly match the frequency of the nuclear excitation. The frequency of Laser 1 can be accurately measured with the help of a frequency comb and therefore used as a time and frequency standard.

Vienna scientists have built the first self-stabilizing thorium nuclear clock, a prototype that could eventually outclass today’s most precise atomic clocks.

Life reconstruction of Musango matusadonaensis

New sauropodomorph Musango matusadonaensis from Zimbabwe suggests southern Africa’s Triassic dinosaurs lived in distinct ecosystems, not one shared herd.
