Improvements to the SI are helping to evolve the science of accuracy and measurement. Democratization of the SI creates a traceability calibration chain accessible to anyone, anywhere. Digitization of ...

Many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are potentially harmful to the environment and people, so it’s useful to know when they are present. These authors developed a method to identify VOCs that ...

Soft magnetic materials are key components of electrical power devices. Excess eddy current loss is the main energy loss that occurs in these materials at high frequencies. However, the mechanisms of ...

Muons might not behave as expected. But scientists can’t agree on what to expect. By taking stock of how the subatomic particles wobble in a magnetic field, physicists have pinned down a property of ...
