A low-uncertainty measurement of the Boltzmann constant
Collaboration between NPL and Cranfield, funded by EPSRC GR/R68139/01 and NPL. Final results of determination of Boltzmann constant – most accurate temperature measurement ever made. The kelvin/Boltzmann constant will be redefined by these measurements. (Michael de Podesta, NPL, michael.depodesta@npl.co.uk).
