Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...
Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many ...
Risk at a nuclear power plant can take many forms. Operators are concerned about factors that impact consistent, efficient energy production. Engineers are concerned about component reliability, ...
Hubble constant. The Hubble constant is crucial in understanding the rate of expansion of the universe and, by extension, estimating the universe’s age. This collaborative effort unites various ...
Jaime Meritt is Chief Product Officer at Verint, overseeing product management for the company's market-leading CX Automation solutions. A recent MIT study found 95% of organizations aren’t reaping a ...
An ultraprecise new measurement has given some weird particle physics theories a black eye. By measuring one of nature’s most fundamental constants more precisely than before, scientists have tested ...
The Materials Science and Engineering Division is dedicated to the research and development of materials measurement science, standards, technology, and data. It supports the National Institute of ...
Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...
Measuring the results of scientific research has seen little federal focus until now. A 2010 administrative memorandum calls on U.S. federal agencies and executive departments to develop tools to ...
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 ...
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 ...
