  • Gaithersburg, Maryland - November 09, 2018: Dr. Stephan Schlamminger, watches the vacuum chamber lid lift off the Kibble Balance, in the subbasement lab of the National Institute for Standards and Technology Gaithersburg MD, facility 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 />
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have helped improved methods for definitively measuring a kilogram. Representatives from 57 countries will vote at the General Conference on Weights and Measures in Versailles, France to redefine four basic units of measurement November 16, 2018. <br />

Dr. Laun is the lab & program manager for BUGSS. <br />
<br />
Attendees are (L-R) Margia Arguello, Francesco Savelli, and Tony Lopez. Pete Lins's arm is in the foreground.<br />
<br />
<br />
The new CRISPR-Cas9 technology is causing worry among mainstream scientists that the burgeoning DIY Biology scene, like BUGSS, might be cavalier with things like ethics and lab safety. Proponents of DIY Biology spaces say they make strides to implement a “culture of responsibility.”<br />
