A novel, quantum-based vacuum gauge system invented by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has passed its first test to be a true primary standard—that is, ...

Vacuum gauges are devices for measuring vacuum or sub-atmospheric pressures. A vacuum is a space in which the pressure of a gas is low compared to the atmospheric pressure. The measure of vacuum is ...

Necessity might be the mother of all invention, but we often find that inventions around here are just as often driven by expensive off-the-shelf parts and a lack of willingness to spend top dollar ...

Cool idea: NIST’s Daniel Barker, Steve Eckel, Jim Fedchak, Julia Scherschligt and colleagues have developed and tested a technique that uses cold atoms to measure ultralow pressures. (Courtesy: NIST) ...

Contamination degrades vacuum gauge accuracy over time. This guide covers cleaning methods for piezoresistive, capacitive, Pirani, and cold cathode gauges ASSLAR ...

STREICHER Pilsen’s S-Cube modular vacuum chamber system can help scientific users to maximize research productivity while simplifying and future-proofing their vacuum infrastructure requirements ...
