From Michelson and Morley’s failure to detect the ether  —  a mysterious substance through which light was thought to propagate  —  arose Einstein’s theory of special relativity, for example. That’s a lesson that researchers at Princeton University also recently learned. When they set about to test a high-re...

Sharon Waters for the Office of Engineering Communications Jan. 29, 2021 2:30 p.m. It started as a failed experiment. Princeton Professor Marcus Hultmark and three Ph.D. students in his lab were testing — in water — a high-resolution temperature sensor that they had developed and used successfully for measurements in air. But then-graduate student Clayton Byers saw that the sensor was delivering backwards results: warm registered as cold and vice versa. Disappointment led to discovery as the team realized they were measuring fluid velocity, which has long proven much more difficult to mea...

arlington, fairfax and montgomery counties. and it's raining from west virginia all the way to the atlantic sea board. this is going to continue here throughout the rest of the day. we've had about 0.4 of an ich of rain near washington over the last 24 hours. this all began late last night. and temperatures are chilly, too. only in the mid and upper 40s to near 50 degrees around the region. it's 51 at national airport. and we'll stay upper 40s and low 50s throughout the rest ofhe day, with occasional rain, periods of rain from time to time throughout the day and into tonight, too. li...
