University of Birmingham scientists have developed a new way of measuring and analyzing indoor air pollution that—in initial ...

Measuring the results of scientific research has seen little federal focus until now. Is it possible to create such a system? What would be the inputs, outputs and structure of the system? What ...

In a new paper for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, we, alongside colleagues from a diverse range of fields, investigate the prevalence and extent of censorship and self-censorship ...

Measuring the 'wettability' of graphene and other 2D materials. Microscopic understanding of wettability can be achieved at the molecular level using 'vibrational sum-frequency generation spectroscopy ...

The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has successfully developed a length measurement system that achieves a level of precision approaching the theoretical limit allowed by quantum ...

The kilogram, the actual kilogram, sits in a vault in Sèvres, France under numerous bell jars. It is the last SI unit to be defined based on a physical quantity—in this case one kilogram of platinum ...
