From the vault Gender and science: Women in American astronomy, 1859–1940 Women measured plates and reduced data in the great factory observatories, helping raise American astronomy to world‐class status while they themselves were relegated to second‐class status. John Lankford and Rickey L. Slavings MAR 01, 1990 Quantum-based standards for pressure measurements Metrologists are using fundamental physics to define units of measure. Now NIST has developed new quantum sensors to measure and realize the pascal. Julia Scherschligt MAR 06, 2026 What can physicists do?
