摘要

Shifts in the frequency of atomic spectral lines between different isotopes can be used to reveal subtle changes in the properties of nuclei. With the advent of ultra-high-precision optical spectroscopy, it is also possible to use these isotope shifts to probe physics beyond the standard model, specifically whether a fifth force exists. This Perspective outlines the progress and challenges of these studies and provides an outlook on future possibilities.
