A group of researchers at NIST working with engineers from Colorado-based Scientech has developed a new approach to measuring laser power using a mirror and a scale. This method, which measures the ...

Amid all the high-tech of a modern woodshop, the classic tape measure seems almost anachronistic (unless you are really old school or in Europe where they still uses wooden folding rules). But new ...

Anyone who needs to quickly and efficiently measure large distances might be interested in a new dual laser tape measure with auto calibration, digital spirit level, angle measure and companion phone ...

Laser micrometers are capable of measuring outside diameter for mechanical engineering and machining purposes. Within the micrometer is a transmitting unit responsible for emitting a laser beam that ...

A fundamental difficulty of working with nanoparticles is that your objects of study are too small for an optical microscope to resolve, and thus measuring their size can be quite a challenge. Of ...

The Earth-Moon-Sun system has traditionally provided the best laboratory for testing the strong equivalence principle. For a decade, the Apache Point Observatory Lunar Laser-ranging Operation (APOLLO) ...
