I am writing with regard to two letters (C&EN, Oct. 23, pages 4 and 6). One, by Oswald Bergmann, asks if global warming should be self-limiting according to Stefan-Boltzmann law. The simple answer is ...

Scientists have performed the most accurate measurement yet of the Boltzmann constant. While the impact of such an achievement is not immediately obvious, the measurement could revolutionize the way ...

Researchers have for the first time used an apparatus that relies on the "noise" of jiggling electrons to make highly accurate measurements of the Boltzmann constant, an important value for many ...

These results will contribute to a worldwide effort to redefine the kelvin, the international unit of temperature, and could lead to better thermometers for industry. Accurate temperature measurement ...

Physicists in the US have developed a technique that may help to make a more accurate measurement of the Boltzmann constant, a fundamental value that relates the kinetic energy of a group of particles ...
