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 ...
The increasing role of carbon emissions in causing heat waves, floods, droughts and other extreme weather is becoming clearer, thanks to the growing field of climate attribution studies. This research ...
Abstract: One of the primary objectives of 2-D inverse scattering problems (ISPs) is to accurately characterize the nature of an unknown tomographic domain based on the collected scattered field data.
