Researchers say atomic clocks now good enough to measure Earth's geoid
(Phys.org)—Researchers from the University of Zurich say that atomic clock technology has sufficiently progressed to the point that it should now be feasible to use them to measure the Earth's geoid, thereby producing more ...
Sediment discovery unlocks Australia's hidden net-zero resource potential
A new method of measuring sediment thickness across Australia's interior offers a cost-effective and straightforward solution for estimating seismic hazard and resource potential while reducing carbon footprint, according ...
