We are overly excited to announce: Our teams from TU Wien and PTB Braunschweig successfully managed the laser excitation of the Th-229 Nucleus. The 8.4 eV
Sympathetic cooling of Th3+ ions is demonstrated in an experiment where 229Th and 230Th are extracted from uranium recoil-ion sources and are confined in a linear Paul trap together with laser-cooled 88Sr+ ions.
Our teams have been busy developing the path towards a Nuclear clock. We are as excited to announce three publications that show some new and
