Converter Site

Provides a set of instruments for converting metric and imperial measurements. Includes unit converters for acceleration, area, energy, fuel consumption, length and distance, liquid volume, mass and weight, power, temperature, time, velocity and currency.
     Author: Alastair Hazell
     Subjects: currency, physical data
     DeweyClass: 530.7
     Resource type: service

Fundamental Physical Constants

Reference document listing symbols, values, and units relating to physical constants, such as speed of light in vacuum, planck mass, and nuclear magneton.
     Author: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
     Subjects: physical data, physics education
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: reference data

Institute of Chemistry Fundamental Physical Constants

Mathematical summary of fundamental constants such as the speed of light, Avogadro number, neutron rest mass and Faraday constant.
     Author: Kirste, Burkhard
     Subjects: physical data
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: reference data

International Union of Pure and Applied Physics

The aims of the Union are to stimulate and promote international cooperation in physics, to sponsor suitable international meetings and to assist organising committees, to foster the preparation and the publication of abstracts of papers and tables of physical constants, to promote international agreements on other use of symbols, units, nomenclature and standards, to foster free circulation of scientists, and to encourage research and education.

     Subjects: international standards, physical data, physics societies
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: institution

Laws List

A collection of laws, rules, principles, effects, paradoxes, limits, constants and experiments in the areas of physics and astronomy, arranged alphabetically.
     Author: Francis, Erik Max
     Subjects: astronomy research, physical data
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: reference data, reference documents

Net Advance of Physics

Review articles and physics tutorials in an encyclopaedic format.
     Author: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
     Subjects: particle physics, physical data, physics education, physics links, physics research
     DeweyClass: 530
     Resource type: guide, reference data

NPL: National Physical Laboratory

Information about the UK's national standards laboratory, which holds and maintains the UK reference standards for the basic units of mass, length, time, temperature, luminous intensity, and electrical current, as well as many of the derived units.
     Author: NPL, HMSO
     Subjects: national standards, physical data
     DeweyClass: 389.62

Nuclear Structure and Decay Data: NuBase with the Q-value Calculator

NuBase is a compilation of ground and isomeric state properties for all known nuclides. The Q-value calculator can be used to display mass data from Audi-Wapstra's mass table and to calculate Q-values for nuclear reactions and decay.
     Author: Ekstrom, Peter
     Subjects: nuclear physics, physical data
     DeweyClass: 539.74
     Resource type: reference data

SIMBAD: Set of Identifications, Measurements, and Bibliography for Astronomical Data

The SIMBAD astronomical database brings together basic data, cross-identifications, observational measurements, and bibliography, for celestial objects outside the solar system: stars, galaxies, and nonstellar objects within our galaxy, or in external galaxies.
     Author: Strasbourg Astronomical Data Center
     Subjects: astronomy research, cosmology, physical data, stars
     DeweyClass: 520
     Resource type: reference data

Stopping-Power and Range Tables for Electrons, Protons, and Helium Ions

Set of databases, ESTAR, PSTAR and ASTAR, which calculate stopping-power and range tables for electrons, protons, or helium ions, according to methods described in ICRU (International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements) Reports 37 and 49. The Appendix section summarises the significance of these quantities.
