"Normally, you would need to carry out ten or twenty years of research in precision physics to improve a fundamental value by a single order of magnitude", says Klaus Blaum, Director at the Max Planck ...

Even if you’re one of the most precise physicists on the planet — as University of Delaware Professor Marianna Safronova is — you still will need collaborators whose skills complement your own and ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

A team of theoretical high-energy physicists in the Fermilab Lattice and MILC Collaborations has published a new high-precision calculation that could significantly advance the indirect search for ...

Forty years after their invention, laser systems based on non-planar ring oscillators (NPROs) are among the most important tools for high-precision physics measurements. They provide the stable and ...

A new result from the Q-weak experiment provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in nature. The proton's weak charge was found to be QWp=0.0719±0.0045, in excellent ...

PARIS (NBC) -Diving requires precision, control, timing, and yes, physics. Andrea Joyce breaks down the elements that make up the perfect dive and checks out the view from up high.

Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Digits: Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements and make ...
