Measuring might feel like math in the classroom, but at the Tellus Science Museum, it looks a lot more like playtime.

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

Measuring the results of scientific research has seen little federal focus until now. A 2010 administrative memorandum calls on U.S. federal agencies and executive departments to develop tools to ...

Professor Helen Fricker says the new laser altimetry system will measure two of the earth’s vital signs: the size of its ...

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 ...

They're all around us: sensors and satellites, radars and drones. These tools form vast remote sensing networks that collect ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...

To really understand neutrons, physicists may have to take to space. When outside the confines of an atomic nucleus, a neutron decays into other particles in about 15 minutes on average. But exactly ...
