A lutetium ion clock in Singapore reports the lowest uncertainty yet for an optical clock

Murray Barrett's group at Singapore's Centre for Quantum Technologies spent more than a decade on an element no other timekeeping lab uses, and now reports one part in 10^19 for a single lutetium ion clock. A redefinition of the second is expected in or after 2030.
