Researchers across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Japan have completed a highly coordinated comparison of optical clocks – a significant step towards redefining the second.

A new report from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has outlined the indispensable role of accurate measurement in engineering.

The UK’s first OptiCool system has been recently installed at NPL by Quantum Design UK and Ireland.

free access to expert measurement science and engineering resources through its Measurement for Business (M4B) initiative. 

Join the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) on Wednesday 29 January 2025 from 12.30-14.00 for a lunchtime webinar to hear from scientists and industry experts on the key measurement priorities for composite materials. 

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has officially opened its M4B programme to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on developing innovative sensors, instrumentation and measurement systems.

A new report by NPL has outlined the crucial needs and challenges that need addressing to boost the hydrogen economy and support the UK in reaching its net zero goals.

The NPL’s Measurement for Business (M4B) is now open to companies developing green technologies including renewable energy, alternative fuels, carbon capture, long-term energy storage, future grid, air quality measurements, emissions monitoring and carbon accounting.  

Longtime partners National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Arden Photonics have worked together again on a new retractable fibre holder. The holder, specifically designed for Arden’s FGC Fibre Geometry System, promises to set new standards in the optical fibre industry.
