By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...

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 ...

Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potentially harmful to the environment and people, so it’s useful to know when they are present. These authors developed a method to identify VOCs that ...

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 ...

At the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2022, the theme was “Explore the Peaks of Microwave Engineering,” a play on the event’s Denver location. There’s another clever interpretation ...

Traditional measures of career success in science have too narrow a focus on publications, according to a new report. (PLOS Biology) Success in science has often been defined by the concept “Publish ...

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 ...
