Coauthored observations of electron-muon pairs with missing energy in electron-positron annihilation. Their analysis required at least two unobserved particles in each event.[ref]
A physicist whose neutron scattering research investigated condensed matter, including solid buckminsterfullerene. Neutrons provide structural information that complements a material’s bulk properties. He also developed an exposition of neutron diffraction from powdered samples for students and other nonspecialists, making the connection between measured scattering patterns and material structure more accessible.[ref]
Laytonsville Man Honored for Distinguished Science Writing by NIST. 1999 institutional award account: fullerene studies and neutron-powder-diffraction exposition
Coauthored tests of multiwire proportional chambers in which wires spaced apart operated as independent proportional counters, enabling electronic localization of charged-particle tracks.[ref]
The Use of Multiwire Proportional Counters to Select and Localize Charged Particles by Georges Charpak and others. Abstract: independent wires at 0.1 cm separation

A metrology author whose account of atomic clocks connects an atomic transition with a practical oscillator. Atoms supply a reproducible resonance, but an instrument must detect departures from that resonance and correct its generated frequency. The physical description explains how an atomic clock converts a microscopic energy difference into a usable timing reference.[ref]

Coauthored an atomic clock account quantifying magnetic and microwave frequency shifts in trapped Mercury ions, with an explicit uncertainty budget.[ref]
Primary Atomic Frequency Standards at NIST by D. B. Sullivan and others. Section 4.1, Table 3, p. 58.
Coauthored an atomic clock account evaluating fountain frequency biases from collisions and blackbody radiation, separating systematic corrections from measurement uncertainty.[ref]
Coauthored an account of laser cooling and two-pass Ramsey spectroscopy in a caesium fountain used as an atomic clock.[ref]

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.

Source. - local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control

You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally. Video 3. Edit locally and publish demo. Source.
