The gift enables researchers to study ways to improve electrical systems using software-defined networking technology, aiming to boost efficiency and security. The laboratory will be one of the first facilities to test emerging tech in managing power distribution.
New research by National Physical Laboratory produces technology for accurate measurements of Planck's constant, a fundamental constant that relates frequency to energy. The technique enables the kilogram to be redefined in terms of this constant, providing a universal standard and greater long-term certainty for scientists.
Scientists at Sandia have successfully imaged the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in fast Z-pinches, a major obstacle to harnessing nuclear fusion. The accurate simulations will enable researchers to better tweak conditions and combat the effect of the instability, potentially achieving scientific breakeven in two to three years.
