The economist Mariana Mazzucato believes in getting out into the field, rolling up her sleeves and seeing how her ideas are put into practice to improve people’s lives. She has just returned from Brazil and Mexico after several weeks working with local communities. She welcomes EL PAÍS into her London home, in the Camden neighborhood, with an energy that seems remarkable for someone who should still be battling jet lag.

Welcome to the age of nuclear clocks. They are not yet as precise as the atomic clocks that keep time (and much more) in modern society. But because they are based on the atom’s nucleus rather than its electrons, improving their performance is only a matter of time. More importantly, these devices will be far more than timekeepers: they could help answer some of the most fundamental questions in physics and open entirely new avenues of inquiry.
