In beehives on the CERN site, a buzzing team of bees collaborates to build hexagon after hexagon of honeycomb—a shape that ...

Scientists from all over the world are contributing to the first complete prototype of a wedge-shaped slice of the new CMS endcap calorimeter. This ...

What is a calorie? While most people think of calories in relation to food, calories are simply a unit of heat energy. In fact, measuring calories is essential to energy science because every chemical ...

Calorimetry-thermal-analysis products measure the changes in temperature and the reaction of a material to the temperature changes; they are useful in measurement methods such as expansion, ...

It is possible that users are not performing to the best of their ability when using an antique differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) or other outdated methods. This can be the case when observing ...

This method has been refined over the years, and NIST reports that they can now calibrate transfer standards with an uncertainty of 0.67% [3][8] for 100 W measurements below 1 GHz. This uncertainty ...

Calibration team National Physical Laboratory researchers have built a primary-standard proton calorimeter and used it to perform dosimetry of FLASH proton beams at Cincinnati Children's Hospital in ...

In this virtual investigation, students will explore how much energy is released when various fuels are burned. The amount of energy released per gram of fuel, measured in joules (J), is known as the ...
