The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has released an app for devices such as Iphones and Ipads to provide 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 and accurate calculations without having to leave their work and consult textbooks.
All fundamental constant values (including exponents) can be accurately copied into a scientific calculator, making Fundamental Physical Constants easy to use for accurate calculations while working in the laboratory.
NPL's Fundamental Physical Constants app is available through the Apple store.
It covers the full range of fundamental constants and 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 up-to-date values, ensuring that their work is traceable back to the highest degree of accuracy.
The Fundamental Physical Constants app is the first in a series to be developed by NPL.
