The recently reported breakthrough observation of gravitational waves emitted by coalescing binary black holes marked the starting point of the new field of gravitational-wave astronomy 1. The ...

Using an atom interferometer, scientists have tested one of the foundations of Einstein's general theory of relativity: that time slows down in a gravitational field. Their experiment proves that ...

Nanopositioning specialist Queensgate and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have forged a productive collaboration yielding a good-practice implementation model for Queensgate’s in-house ...

Finding out what the universe is actually made of remains one of the ultimate ...

In the realm of ultra-intense laser physics, the precise characterization of laser pulses is indispensable for ensuring optimal peak power and experimental fidelity. However, accurate measurement of ...

Arvix paper contends the spacetime distortions resulting from the experimentally obtainable electric field of a parallel plate capacitor configuration cannot be detected by the White-Juday Warp Field ...

Grating-coupled interferometry (GCI) is a surface based, a label-free optical sensing technique used for real-time binding kinetic measurements. 1 Typically, GCI is used to detect binding events ...

Space Warp equations are being tested using an instrument called the White-Juday Warp Field Interferometer. At Johnson Space Center, Eagleworks has initiated an interferometer test bed that will try ...

Faster computer and electronic processors require smaller features for integrated circuits (IC), which in turn require smaller and smoother substrate surfaces. Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...
