Inner-shell clock transition in atomic thulium with a small blackbody radiation shift

Precise and stable optical clocks are important for fundamental science and applications. Here the authors demonstrate a clock transitions in thulium (Tm), which has a small black body radiation frequency shift and is suitable for transportable atomic clocks.
