And because mass is part of the mole equation, it can also prove the Planck Constant's definition of a kilogram. <br />

Dr. Jon Pratt, former Chief of quantum measurement at the National Institute for Standards and Technology stands by in the Gaithersburg MD, facility's subbasement lab Friday November 9, 2018.<br />
<br />
The Kibble Balance located in the subbasement of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg is instrumental in redefining the Kilogram, using Planck’s Constant, a value from quantum mechanics.<br />
<br />
The NIST-4 Kibble Balance uses electromagnetism instead of gravity to weigh an object's mass, precise to 900 nanometers. <br />

<br />
The Kibble Balance located in the subbasement of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg is instrumental in redefining the Kilogram, using Planck’s Constant, a value from quantum mechanics.<br />
<br />
The NIST-4 Kibble Balance uses electromagnetism instead of gravity to weigh an object's mass, precise to 900 nanometers. <br />
