maßstäbe

The popular-science magazine of PTB

How large, how wide, how heavy? It is the PTB's task to measure all that is measurable - and to do this with as high an accuracy as possible. To report on this in a comprehensible, informative and exciting way is the task of the PTB's new popular-science magazine. It is expressly directed also at pupils and students, and at all those who do not yet know PTB. Once a year, maßstäbe (published in German only) will discuss a priority topic from the field of metrology, the art of measurement. A whole range of journalistic styles (account, report, story, gloss ...) will reflect the multifarious ways in which the "measurement" topic turns up in science and in everyday life. Issue No. 1 on the topic "Dimensions of the units" was published at the end of September 2001.

On the German maßstäbe website you can find the maßsstäbe as html files (only in German, sorry).
