Planck's constant reveals the quantum world's fundamental energy levels. It shows how light and matter exist in discrete units (quanta). This constant defines limits to our knowledge of particle ...

Researchers from the CNRS and Université de Sherbrooke, have discovered a universal law for the electronic properties of high-temperature superconductors. They exposed superconductors to an intense ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich, together with international collaborators, have demonstrated for the first time that ...

At a fundamental level, our Universe is made of particles, forces, interactions, and the fabric of space and time. Spacetime forms the ever-evolving stage on which the play of the cosmos unfolds, ...

ADVANCES in fundamental theory have often been guided by the principle that reliance is to be placed on the most directly observed quantities, that is, those involving least theoretical assumptions.

Once upon a time, I was involved in an abortive attempt to measure the variation of the fundamental constants. Thanks to that experience, I’ve always had an interest in these measurements, so a new ...

The purpose of this investigation was development of a simple method, using light-emitting diodes, to verify Planck's Constant. Early in the course of the work, the discovery of an invalid assumption ...

Editor's note: This article contains spoilers for the Netflix original series "Stranger Things." Season 3 of the Netflix hit series "Stranger Things" continues to prove the show's appreciation for ...

The watt balance—also known as the Kibble balance—is a precision electromechanical instrument that has revolutionised the realisation of the kilogram by linking it directly to the Planck constant.
