The Science of Measurement
You might not think a micron, or about 1/100th the width of a human hair, matters, but your cell phone manufacturer certainly does. From the optical chips in your phone to the wings on the cargo plane that delivered it, every product in your life relies on metrology, or the science of measurement. And those manufacturers rely on metrologists, like those at the Center for Precision Metrology (CPM) at UNC Charlotte.
