The Watt Balance is one of the most precise instruments ever created - a device that measures mass using electromagnetic ...

A Planck? Planck’s constant like the physics number for something complicated? Nah, that’s not keyboard related. But maybe it ...

In a cafe at CERN in 1992, three physicists realized they disagreed about how many constants are needed to describe all of nature. A recent paper suggests only one – time – is necessary.

Planck himself was initially hesitant about the implications of his discovery, viewing it as a formal assumption rather than a fundamental truth. The discovery of the Planck constant became a ...

So, you know how sometimes someone just changes everything? Like, they come along and totally flip the script on how we see the world? Well, in physics, that person was Max Planck. A lot of folks call ...

A group of Brazilian researchers has presented an innovative proposal to resolve a decades-old debate among theoretical physicists: how many fundamental constants are needed to describe the observable ...

I’d like to invite you to an even higher level of nerdom! Every good nerd knows that E=mc^2. Every great nerd knows that, really, E^2=m^2c^4+p^2c^2 Want to know what that even means? Sure, I’ll tell ...

This project reinterprets Planck’s constant h as a product of unit choices rather than intrinsic mysteries. By redefining h and the speed of light c as unit-derived quantities. Complexities in quantum ...
