The world keeps time with the ticks of atomic clocks, but a new type of clock under development—a nuclear clock—could revolutionize how we measure time and probe fundamental physics.

It’s not easy making green.
Electronic temperature compensation in gaging has become a valuable tool in improving the accuracy and gage repeatability and reproducibility (GR&R) of gages in harsh manufacturing environments.

Identifying one faulty turbine in a wind farm, which can involve looking at hundreds of signals and millions of data points, is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
We ended the previous gaging article talking about the 10:1 rule as it applies to the performance of a gage.
TAPS, the semi-automatic sounding system for rivers and lakes, measures bodies of water independently.
Up-to-date and accurate maps of the waterways are a prerequisite for safe and efficient shipping in Germany.
MR Components continuously invests in the latest technologies to offer customers the best possible quality.

Right now, the U.S. and Germany have different approaches to defining, or “realizing” as the researchers call it, the kilogram. Here, NIST researcher Darine Haddad looks on as German researcher Beatrice Rodiek places a sphere on NIST’s highly accurate weighing machine, known as the Kibble balance. The goal of the research is to get closer to the same definition using the different methods. Credit: B. Hayes/NIST
In 2018, the world agreed to redefine the kilogram.
