TL;DR: The method combines nuclear and atomic physics measurements to advance precision metrology, and the findings are expected to facilitate the application of high-resolution laser spectroscopy on nuclei and to enable the development of a nuclear optical clock of unprecedented accuracy.

TL;DR: It is shown that although previously viewed as a nuisance, the defect states provide a starting point for nuclear excitation via electronic bridge mechanisms involving stimulated emission or absorption using an optical laser.

TL;DR: It is shown how to implement a promising electronic bridge scheme in an electron beam ion trap starting from a metastable electronic state to efficiently drive the nuclear transition by coupling it to the electronic shell.

TL;DR: In this paper, the laser-induced electronic bridge (LEB) is used to determine the excitation energy of a bound electron in the presence of an optical or ultra-violet laser at energies satisfying a two-photon resonance condition.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the nuclear physics nature and the impact of the $E2$ decay channel for the nuclear coupling to the atomic shell based on the newest theoretical predictions for the corresponding reduced nuclear transition probabilities.
