Scientists working on Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment released the world's most precise measurement yet of the magnetic moment of the muon, bringing particle physics closer to the ultimate showdown ...

Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun’s gravity, and their technique promises a major ...

From pacing out distances with our feet to defining the kilogram by the Planck constant, measurement has come a long way. Across history, humans have sought consistent ways to compare, quantify, and ...

When hundreds of physicists gathered on a Zoom call in late February to discuss their experiment’s results, none of them knew what they had found. Like doctors in a clinical trial, the researchers at ...

Precision measurements in atomic and ion physics have become a cornerstone for testing the limits of our understanding of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model. By harnessing ...

Balancing act The two systems of measurement – imperial and metric – are often used together in UK shops. (Courtesy: iStock/Paolo Paradiso) When I was at primary school in the 1960s, measurements were ...
