AI overview
Metrology is the scientific study of measurement that establishes common units of measurement, which is crucial for linking human activities across society. Modern metrology developed from efforts to standardize units based on natural sources, and today uses precise instruments like the Kibble balance to ensure measurements are reliable and based on fundamental physical constants rather than arbitrary standards.
