The strong lines in the atomic spectrum that enabled Nilson to first identify scandium also allow its relative abundance in stars and the interstellar medium to be probed. In 1908, Sir William ...

Milestone for novel atomic clock X-ray laser shows possible route to substantially increased precision time measurement Date: September 27, 2023 Source: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY ...

Combining the two techniques, researchers can element map at atomic resolution. The element map shows that the scandium atoms are moving to the corner positions in a cubic crystal structure while ...

Researchers utilized this facility to expose a 0.025-millimeter-thick scandium foil to X-ray laser light, leading to the emission of a "characteristic afterglow" by the excited atomic nuclei.

Scandium-45 nuclear-clock candidate driven by X-ray lasers Precise timekeeping is key to many technologies, motivating the search for more-stable reference oscillators for use as clocks.
