NPL's first app for iPhones and iPads The Fundamental Physical Constants app covers not only the full range of fundamental constants but also the SI and derived units and SI prefixes. The app has been designed by NPL so researchers in the laboratory can do fast accurate calculations without having to leave their work and consult textbooks ...   Make NPL your science partner NPL has recently refreshed its Commercial Services pages, giving an updated overview of the capabilities that can help businesses overcome science and technology challenges. NPL is committed to using the science of measurement to help drive innovation, support industry and improve the quality of life ...   NPL supports The Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 The Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 was awarded jointly to Professor Andre Geim and Dr Konstantin Novoselov, at the University of Manchester, "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". The Nobel Committee chose 44 seminal papers to illustrate the scientific background on graphene. Among these was a paper co-authored by NPL ... Large-scale metrology NPL is very active in the field of large-scale metrology, developing hardware and software systems that together provide a traceable reference metrology framework on which to base performance evaluation technologies and to provide the highest accuracy co-ordinate measurement systems ... 50 years of the SI - a key partner in science and technology In October, NPL celebrated the 50th anniversary of the International System of Units (SI). NPL's Jonathan Williams explains how essential the SI is to science and society in this video. NPL also produced a downloadable poster and a series of information pages and short videos about each of the SI base units.  The BBC promoted the anniversary with a quiz about the SI units, which NPL helped put together ...   Research Funding Opportunities    NPL is able to provide world-leading expertise in a number of different areas.
