New research from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) shows why widely used algorithms for measuring economic complexity produce trustworthy results and how these tools may benefit diverse areas such as ...

Anna Mani built instruments that let independent India measure its own weather, mapped solar radiation, tracked winds at 700 sites, and aided the early space programme., People, Times Now ...

Physicists at Boston University have achieved what amounts to a long-sought benchmark in quantum measurement: detecting the spontaneous magnetic fluctuations of nuclear spins in a macroscopic sample ...

My academic path studying physics at Tsinghua University began in 1981 where I completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s before earning a PhD in 1992. I then did a postdoc at the Central Iron & Steel ...

Scientists have developed instruments capable of measuring forces so small they are almost impossible to imagine. In ...

Scientists say the path to commercial fusion power may hinge on better ways to measure the behavior of superheated plasma.

New spacecraft techniques propose using CubeSats, laser rangefinding, and precise Doppler measurements to determine the mass of potentially hazardous asteroids during flyby missions.

Fusion energy may be one of the most promising clean power sources of the future—but only if scientists can precisely measure the extreme, fast-moving plasmas that make it possible. A new U.S.

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...
