After a 10-year effort, physicists got a value for “Big G” that does not settle the debate over one of nature’s hardest ...
I was watching Ben Krasnow making iron nitride permanent magnets and was struck by the fact that about half of the video was about making a magnetometer – a device for measuring and characterizing the ...
A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using ...
Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...
Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potentially harmful to the environment and people, so it’s useful to know when they are present. These authors developed a method to identify VOCs that ...
Improvements to the SI are helping to evolve the science of accuracy and measurement. Democratization of the SI creates a traceability calibration chain accessible to anyone, anywhere. Digitization of ...
On a cool February morning in 1904, a spark ignited a fire in the heart of downtown Baltimore. Within hours, a raging inferno swept eastward across the harbor district, consuming everything in its ...
