How to Measure Nothing Better

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
Scientists reveal unprecedented ability to "side-step" the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle by simultaneously measuring ...
Max Planck really kicked off a whole new way of thinking about the universe. Before him, physics was pretty much all about ...
A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future ...
In January I wrote a piece titled “ 5 Physics Equations Everyone Should Know .” Lots of you weighed in with your own ...
