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 ...
Most earthquake energy turns into heat rather than ground shaking, sometimes hot enough to melt rock in microseconds. MIT’s ...
What is the meaning of life? Even the best of us couldn't hope to answer that question in a Universe Today article. But there ...
Physicists have found a way to redistribute uncertainty in quantum measurements, paving the way for ultra-sensitive ...
Airplanes burn fuel by the ton; carrying more fuel requires more power to maintain lift, so they definitely cannot fill up completely. But can we compare our family cars to airplanes? I specifically ...
Foundational research is paving the way for next-generation quantum sensors. Physicists in Australia and the United Kingdom have found a way to reshape quantum uncertainty, offering a new method that ...
