The measurment of thermodynamic temperature
Temperature is defined through thermodynamics, and values on practical temperature scales are derived from measurements with several thermometers based on fundamental thermodynamic or statistical‐mechanical principles.
Debate on radioactive waste disposal. No technical barriers
Do we know enough to dispose safely of waste that will remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years, or will any disposal program inevitably end up as an albatross around the neck of future generations?
Debate on radioactive waste disposal. Will it stay put?
Do we know enough to dispose safely of waste that will remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years, or will any disposal program inevitably end up as an albatross around the neck of future generations?
Lasers and physics: a pretty good hint
The monochromaticity, directionality and intensity of laser light make possible spectroscopic investigations of previously unimagined precision whose results give hints of more new physics to come.
