Miniscule, invisible neutrino particles are ubiquitous but nearly impossible to catch. They fly though the Earth—and us—every moment, by the billions. They are the smallest known matter particles in ...

The number-one job of a marketer is to invest budget wisely to drive sales. That inherently requires accurately measuring the performance of that spending. Yet most advertisers still rely on flawed ...

Just over a week ago, European physicists announced they had measured the strength of gravity on the smallest scale ever. In a clever tabletop experiment, researchers at Leiden University in the ...

For decades scientists have tried to find a way to measure the mass of the lightest matter particle known to exist. Three new approaches now have a chance to succeed. In 1980, Hamish Robertson was a ...

A photon was apparently detected in two places at once in a twist on the classic double-slit experiment, but many physicists ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of ...

The project aims to establish new experimental techniques for high precision measurement and control of laser-cooled trapped ions. Some of the associates responsibilities include but are not limited ...

Last week over in Twitter-land, Philip Ball asked an interesting question: I’ve written a fair bit about historical science, and read more than I’ve written, so this question stuck with me, and seems ...

The universe shouldn’t be here. Everything scientists know about particle physics, summed up in a theory called the Standard Model, suggests that the big bang should have created equal quantities of ...

Oxford Instruments and Zurich Instruments have introduced the SampleProtect measurement system. It is optimized for opto-electrical measurement experiments, ensuring sensitive samples are protected ...
