Novel 'Noise Thermometry' May Help Redefine International Unit of Temperature (6/8/2008)

Novel 'Noise Thermometry' May Help Redefine International Unit of TemperatureAfter seven years of work, researchers have built a system that relies on the "noise" of jiggling electrons as a basis for measuring temperatures with extreme precision. The system is nearly precise enough now to help update some of the crucial underpinnings of science, including the 54-year-old definition of the Kelvin, the international unit of temperature. ...> Full Article

The World's Smallest Double Slit Experiment: Breaking up the Hydrogen Molecule (11/12/2007)

The World's Smallest Double Slit Experiment: Breaking up the Hydrogen MoleculeThe big world of classical physics mostly seems sensible: waves are waves and particles are particles, and the moon rises whether anyone watches or not. The tiny quantum world is different: particles are waves (and vice versa), and quantum systems remain in a state of multiple possibilities until they are measured â€" which amounts to an intrusion by an observer from the big world â€" and forced to choose: the exact position or momentum of an electron, say. ...> Full Article
