In this episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Measurement Science and Technology, which is the world’s first scientific instrumentation and measurement ...

NASA’s Earth Observing System provides nearly 30 years of continuous, high-quality measurements of Earth’s land, oceans, atmosphere, and ice, supporting climate research and long-term environmental ...

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 ...

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 ...

In no field of science is the gulf between appreciation and importance as wide as it is for metrology. It’s not about the weather. Metrology is the science of measuring. It has a longer history than ...

Edward Vicenzi is a guest researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the Material Measurement Laboratory. Christine France and Thomas Lam do not work for, consult, own shares ...

Note: Articles may be assigned to more than one subject area, as a result the sum of the subject research outputs may not equal the overall research outputs. Identify research insights to guide ...

Metrology—the science of measurement and its applications—will influence the quality and reliability of electronics as they get smaller and smaller. Following the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act ...

Through randomly selected measurements, physicists can determine the quantum entanglement of many-particle systems. With the newly developed method, quantum simulations can be extended to a larger ...

Scientists love precision. They can measure the distance from Earth to the moon to within a couple of centimeters and the spins of far-off pulsars to fractions of a millisecond. When peering inside a ...
