Calibration is the process of adjusting and verifying that an instrument, for example, an optical microscope, is taking measurements accurately by comparing them to a known measurement standard or ...

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: ...

For those of us who weren't paying attention, over the last few years, scientists around the world have been one-upping each other in a bid to create the smallest QR code that can be reliably read.

When using a measurement microscope, users can measure the size and dimensions of sample features in both two and three dimensions, which is important for inspection, quality control (QC), failure ...

Scientists created a tiny matrix that stores data by etching its grid into a thin ceramic film with a focused ion beam.

TU Wien has been working with the Munich-based company Cerabyte for some time to develop a new long-term archiving technology: writing information onto a coated glass disc. In the lab, researchers use ...

West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Simon Foster has launched a drive to get children and young adults aged between 14 and 24 to help scrutinise the force. The Youth Scrutiny Panels will ...

Researchers at TU Wien and Cerabyte created the world’s smallest QR code, measuring just 1.98 square micrometers. The record has been officially verified by Guinness World Records, making it 37% ...

Researchers at Microsoft have created a data-storage system that can remain readable for at least 10,000 years — and probably much longer. In the digital age, the need for data storage is ballooning.

The promise of storage that lasts indefinitely and consumes no power sounds almost implausible in a world where data centers demand constant electricity and cooling. That is the claim now attached to ...
