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 ...
Einstein's photoelectric effect discovery is pivotal for technologies such as LiDAR and digital imaging, driving innovation ...
If there’s one lesson to be learned from [Aled Cuda]’s pulsed laser driver, it’s that you can treat the current limits on electronic components as a suggestion if the current duration is measured ...
Three laser experiments today: laser-induced electroless copper plating, laser-assisted electroplating on stainless steel, ...
Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...
Starfire hub, funded by U.S. DOE, is developing fusion energy solutions, led by LLNL. Artist’s rendering of a diode laser module with beam shaping. The Starfire Hub – an initiative funded by the U.S.
Wow, BMW laser headlights sound exciting. Maybe you could sync them to your radio and program a Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular or one of those Ronnie James Dio hologram shows! Ok, that's not how they ...
A research team from the South China University of Technology has developed an innovative statistical modeling approach that accelerates the development of advanced rare-earth-doped laser ...
After [Ross] from FauxHammer miniature model fame got lured into reviewing laser engravers and similar via the Bambu Lab H2D’s laser module, he found himself getting slightly nervous about the whole ...
Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...
The word 'ceramics' is derived from the Greek keramos, meaning pottery and porcelain. The opaque and translucent cement and clay often used in tableware are not appropriate for optical applications ...
