Pressure from individual particles measured for the first time

A device made using a tiny bead floating in a beam of light can measure extremely small pressures and could help find a mysterious kind of neutrino

Breakthrough: First-Ever Measurement of Pressure from Individual Particles

The ultra-sensitive pressure sensor features a 100-nanometer silica sphere held in place by laser light. Thomas Penny/Yale Wright Institute A groundbreaking device utilizing tiny beads stabilized by laser technology has made it possible to measure the pressure created by individual particles for the first time. This remarkable innovation holds potential for uncovering elusive particles that [...] The post Breakthrough: First-Ever Measurement of …
