Temperature is by far the most commonly measured physical parameter. With so many new ideas for connected devices in the works for consumer and industrial applications, you often need high-accuracy ...

Uncertainty affects the accuracy with which measurements can be made in quantum physics. To reduce this uncertainty, physicists have learned to "squeeze" certain measurements. Researchers are now ...

When gathering a measurement using a spectroscopy instrument, the user wants to be confident in the result. Whether the technique is OES, XRF, or LIBS, or if thickness or composition are measured, the ...

Test instruments such as oscilloscopes and DMMs (digital multimeters) often let you get the measurement results you need with just the press of a button. But the number on a meter's display or the ...

Scientists are testing a novel way to measure cosmic expansion using time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars. Their ...

Measurements in physics are funny things. You’d hope that attempts to quantify some of the fundamental properties of the Universe would follow a simple pattern ...
