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 ...

How Physics Changed the Way We Measure a Kilogram

Once tied to a metal cylinder in France, the kilogram has now been redefined using the fundamental laws of physics.
By using something called a quantum grid, scientists have found a clever way to simultaneously measure momentum and position ...
WashU physicists build quantum sensors in boron nitride sheets to study magnetism and stress under extreme pressure.
