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 ...

"For asteroids of the size scale relevant to planetary defense (i.e., ∼50-500 m), the mass can only be directly measured ...

A new report sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recommends increased investment in America’s fusion diagnostic ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA scientists want you, yes you, to take part in a mission. The space agency launched a new component function of its citizen science mobile application GLOBE Observer last month. It now invites ...

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 ...

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 this AZoNano interview, Rob Ellis, VP of Strategic Planning for Lake Shore Cryotronics, talks about their new product, the MeasureReady™ M91 FastHall™ measurement controller—a revolutionary, all-in ...
