Physicists in Australia have demonstrated the first “pumped” atom laser. Their achievement marks another step on the road to a continuously operating atom laser, which should enable high-precision ...

Scientists have clocked the speed of Cepheid stars -- 'standard candles' that help us measure the size of the universe -- with unprecedented precision, offering exciting new insights about them.

Maintain productivity in GPS-denied environments like urban settings or remote sites. Rugged, field-ready design with intuitive controls for fast, efficient use. Laser offset technology enables safe ...

Precision measurements in atomic and ion physics have become a cornerstone for testing the limits of our understanding of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model. By harnessing ...

Scientists from the University of Rochester and UC Santa Barbara have built a laser so small it can sit on a penny. But don’t let its size fool you. This tiny laser could power the next generation of ...

Input bias current is a usually overlooked amplifier parameter that can have a significant effect on an amplifier circuit’s output accuracy. Sometimes the effect is small enough to be ignored, but ...

(Phys.org)—An international team of researchers has developed a new way to measure the mass of a proton and found the particle to be approximately 30 billionths of a percent less than previously ...

Bruker’s UMT TriboLab™ test system has the ability to accurately and reliably perform such precision measurements across wide displacement (µm to mm) and force (mN to kN) ranges. This extraordinary ...

Researchers have developed a lightweight optical system for 3D inspection of surfaces with micron-scale precision. The new system is designed to be mounted on tracking platform placed on a robotic arm ...

“Classical Cepheids” are a type of pulsating star that rhythmically brightens and dims over time. These pulsations help astronomers measure vast distances across space, which makes Cepheids crucial ...
