MTI Instruments’ Accumeasure HD System Proven to Be Highest Resolution Capacitance System in the World

MTI Instruments’ Accumeasure HD System Proven to Be Highest Resolution Capacitance System in the World. The results were recently published in a white paper by Kevin Harding of Optical Metrology Solutions. Harding’s white paper can be accessed on MTI Instruments’ website. Harding’s independent study confirmed the findings of an internal experiment by MTI Instruments that concluded the Accumeasure HD system can provide picometer-level accuracy when used with 50-micron HD capacitive probes.

ColdQuanta Awarded U.S. Government Contracts Totaling $2.55M

ColdQuanta, the leader in Cold Atom Quantum Technology, has been awarded two development contracts from U.S. Government agencies worth $2.55M in total. Both projects are based on the company’s Quantum Core™ technology that uses atoms cooled to a temperature of nearly absolute zero, and lasers to manipulate and control the atoms with extreme precision.

QuickFreeze® (by Tippmann Engineering) Receives Patent for QFM, The Fastest Way to Freeze A Pallet

Quantum Computing One Step Closer

Quantum Computing One Step Closer

An international team has developed a ground-breaking single-electron “pump”. The electron pump device developed by the researchers can produce one billion electrons per second and uses quantum mechanics to control them one-by-one. And it’s so precise they have been able to use this device to measure the limitations of current electronics equipment.
