Summary:
  Nuclear clocks would measure time based on changes inside an atom's nucleus,
  which would make them less sensitive to external disturbances and potentially
  more accurate than atomic clocks.
  These clocks could lead to improved timekeeping and navigation,
  faster internet speeds, and advances in fundamental physics research.
  Scientists have demonstrated key components of a nuclear clock,
  such as precise frequency measurements of an energy jump in a thorium-229
  nucleus.

Paper is 25 dollars measured at today's nuclear inflation time, eh speed
I would have thought that NIST, financed by public money,
would publish their papers for free for thee.

Nature is an expensive journal to run and publish. They charge for access. This is getting less common many are now free access.
The paper you want here isn't on arxiv that I can see but this one is:
https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.13023
Any university or copyright library will subscribe to Nature - you shouldn't have to travel far to find a copy. My UK local library provides digital access to many journals, magazines and newspapers.
It was a side effect of Covid that for health reasons they no longer take paper copies of such transient material.
