Redefining the SI Unit of Mass: Heason's UHV Compatible and Non-Magnetic Motion System helps PTB find a successor to the original kilogram

With the exception of mass, all of the SI base units can be traced to fundamental constants or to the properties of atoms or molecules. The mass standard, the kilogram, is currently defined as the international prototype kilogram (IPK) which is a 135 year old platinum-iridium artefact that is held...
