American power grids face a severe double strain. Surging electricity demand from new data centers and industrial electrification is colliding with extreme summer heat waves that strain existing generator capacity. Meeting those sudden evening spikes usually means firing up costly, inefficient fossil fuel peaker plants. Yet a massive battery capacity already exists, sitting parked in municipal lots and port corridors for most of the day.

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a highly precise optical atomic clock using lutetium. Researchers at the Centre for Quantum Technologies measured its frequency to 19 decimal places and reported an uncertainty of 1 × 10-19, which they said is the lowest recorded for an optical atomic clock. The team compared two separate clocks to test the measurement and achieved a comparison uncertainty of 5.7 × 10-19. The technology could support future research involving gravity, geophysics and fundamental physics while contributing to precision measurement and timekeeping standards. Researchers are also working toward creating a transportable version.

A newly reported radio signature from Beta Pictoris b is giving astronomers a rare way to investigate the magnetic environment of a planet beyond our solar system. Observations with South Africa’s MeerKAT array identified recurring auroral radio bursts at the planet’s location, rather than its host star. The research also provides the first direct measurement of an exoplanet’s magnetic field strength.
