First App from NPL for iOS Devices
Jan 18 2011
The UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has released its first app for iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. It will provide researchers with easy and up-to-date access to the values for all the physical constants.The app has been designed by NPL to be used by researchers in the laboratory to do fast accurate calculations without having to leave their work and consult textbooks. NPL’s Fundamental Physical Constants App is available through the Apple store. It covers not only the full range of fundamental constants but also the SI and derived units and SI Prefixes. The values used in Fundamental Physical Constants are the latest values
recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). They provide researchers with the most upto- date values ensuring that their work is traceable back to the highest degree of accuracy. Tim Prior, Business Development Manager at NPL, said:“For more than a century NPL has developed and maintained the most accurate measurement standards, science and technology. Previously we have shared this expertise with scientists through published papers and reference books, but have now developed our first app to ensure that the data is as accessible as possible, enabling researchers to use the information quickly and accurately to
progress their own work.”
