It holds nearly the entire mass of the atom while taking up only about 1/100,000th of the atom's space. While the first atomic clock was invented in 1949, no nuclear clock has yet been feasible.

NASA created the multi-million-dollar timepiece, called the Deep Space Atomic Clock (DSAC), to keep track of time in space more precisely than any device before it - without being too heavy or big ...
