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 ...
A research team has successfully measured the time it takes for a photon to pass through a hydrogen molecule, clocking it at 247 zeptoseconds. For context, one zeptosecond is equivalent to a ...
In a world-first, researchers from the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have directly observed the evolution of the elusive dark excitons in ...
Because the electron beam spot is so fine, the patterns reached scales of only a few hundreds of nanometers across. That precision makes it possible to potentially integrate glowing traces and ...
