Dr. Freire's and his colleagues used several telescopes to take precise measurements of the two-star system.
The technique allows very precise measurements to be made of any ground displacement that takes place between the image acquisitions.
"By reducing the antihydrogen energy, it should be possible to perform more precise measurements of all of its parameters, " Robicheaux said.
Alpha can be calculated by making precise measurements of physical objects.
RadioAstron will also examine pulsars and the outer regions of spiral galaxies in order to get more precise measurements on their rate of rotation and distance from earth.
There are several different ideas about what that dark energy might be, but more precise measurements of the universe are needed to figure out exactly what it is.
After gathering precise measurements of the rotation and velocity of an incoming asteroid, two large clouds of white paintballs would be shot at the asteroid from a nearby spaceship.
FORBES: An Earth-Killing Asteroid Could Be Deflected With Paintballs
The result is not a total surprise, since less-precise measurements published three years ago suggested that antimuons (which ought, if theory is correct, to have the same magnetic moments as muons) are similarly anomalous.
Using WOW, not only can the team spot the obvious visible signs of damage, such as debris, flying furniture and general destruction, they can also take precise measurements about how the wind interacts with a structure.
ENGADGET: Alt-week 9.15.12: The ultimate wind machine, Egyptian Lego and the office of our dreams
Well, we still don't quite understand the exact nature of dark matter, but highly precise measurements of positron fraction (the ratio of positrons to electrons and protons) do bring us a small step closer to proving the existence of the theoretical material.
Chicago-based startup Proper Suit is doing another of its fitting events in DC today, where customers spend an hour in a private meeting with tailors who take precise measurements (old school) for an AutoCAD-constructed suit that arrives in the mail approximately four weeks later (new school).
But at some point the advertisers will insist on some precise performance measurements, going far beyond the circulation figures and Nielsen ratings they are getting now on the old media.
We can create all sorts of discrete measurements to define precise ranking but we generally understand these three levels as a basis for our interaction in this form.
FORBES: Four Elementary Forms of Sociality Impacting Trust and Relationships
Scientists in Spain have managed to produce measurements that are more precise than those predicted by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.
FORBES: Scientists Beat the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
But whilst it is tiny, the change can have important consequences, particularly for scientists who require precise definitions of the kilogram for other measurements such as voltage.
The measurements have been used to construct a precise topographical map of Mars with many applications in geophysics, geology and atmospheric circulation.
