Theoretical and experimental physics team up in the search for particle flavor change
An important recent discovery in physics came from measuring neutrinos—neutral, weakly interacting particles—produced by the sun. Nuclear reactions in the sun produce only electron neutrinos. According to the standard model, neutrinos come in thr.....»»
Research team demonstrates a new "primary standard" for measuring ultralow pressures
A vacuum chamber is never perfectly empty. A small number of atoms or molecules always remain, and measuring the tiny pressures they exert is critical. For instance, semiconductor manufacturers create microchips in vacuum chambers that must be almost.....»»
Pivotal discovery in sensor technology eliminates faulty electronic sensors when measuring toxins in water
