The remarkable thing about our universe is that it’s possible to explore at least some of its inner workings with very simple tools. Gravity is one example, to which [Galileo]’s inclined planes and ...

We aren’t sure if [Looking Glass Universe] didn’t trust the accepted number for Planck’s constant, or just wanted the experience of measuring it herself. Either way, she took some LEDs and worked out ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made their most precise determination yet of Planck’s constant. This will let NIST redefine the kilogram, the official ...

Planck's Length is the length below which the concept of length loses its meaning. Huh? Planck's Length is the length below which the concept of length loses its meaning. What exactly does that mean ...

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 ...

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.

PROF. MAX PLANCK, originator of the quantum theory and emeritus professor of theoretical physics in the University of Berlin, will celebrate his eightieth birthday on April 23. Planck's work had a ...

In 1899 Max Planck became a professor at the University of Berlin, after nine years at the University of Munich and Kiel University, in Germany. In his research there, he turned to a thermodynamic ...
