  • The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is the national measurement standards laboratory for the United Kingdom, based at Bushy Park in Teddington, London, England. It is the largest applied physics organisation in the UK. NPL is an internationally respected centre of excellence in measurement and materials science. Since 1900, when Bushy House was selected as the site of NPL, it has developed and maintained the primary national measurement standards. Today it provides the scientific resources for the National Measurement System financed by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. NPL also offers a range of commercial services, applying scientific skills to industrial measurement problems, and manages the MSF time signal. NPL has carried out work in the area of micro-optics including microlenses and microlens arrays. Teddington was also home to the UK National Chemical Laboratory but this was closed in 1965 and some of its work was transferred to NPL. NPL cooperates with professional networks such as those of the IET to support scientists and engineers concerned with areas of work in which it has expertise. Researchers who have worked at the NPL include Paul Baran and Donald Davies, who co-invented packet switching in the early 1960s; D. W. Dye who did important work in developing the technology of quartz clocks; Louis Essen, who invented a more accurate atomic clock than those first built in America. Others who have spent time at NPL include Harry Huskey, a computer pioneer; Alan Turing, one of the fathers of modern digital computing who was largely responsible for the early ACE computer design; Robert Watson-Watt, generally considered the inventor of radar, Oswald Kubaschewski, the father of computational materials thermodynamics and the numerical analyst James Wilkinson. A new state-of-the-art laboratory for the NPL at Teddington was completed in 2007.
  • Das National Physical Laboratory (kurz NPL) in Teddington, Middlesex ist das Pendant zur deutschen Physikalisch-Technischen Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Großbritannien. Es definiert die im Bereich Physik bzw. Technik geltenden nationalen Standards (Normale). Ihre Aufgaben sind die Bestimmung von Fundamental- und Naturkonstanten, Darstellung, Bewahrung und Weitergabe der gesetzlichen Einheiten des Internationalen Einheitensystems (SI), ergänzt um Dienstleistungen wie den Kalibrierdienst UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) für den gesetzlich geregelten Bereich.
  • El NPL (National Physical Laboratory, Laboratorio Nacional de Física) es el instituto nacional de mediciones del Reino Unido. Se dedica a desarrollar y aplicar estándares de la ciencia y de la tecnología. El NPL, siendo el instituto nacional de medición mas importante del Reino Unido, tiene como misión: La Excelencia en ciencia, la explotación creciente de esa ciencia para alzar competitividad y calidad de vida británica, la integridad e independencia como activo nacional y mantener la situación internacional realzada.
  • Le National Physical Laboratory (NPL), établi à Teddington dans le Middlesex depuis 1900, est le laboratoire national britannique pour les mesures. Le NPL effectue des recherches sur les mesures, la physique et la science des matériaux, apporte son soutien à la mise au point d'instruments de mesures et fournit les étalons de mesure et des moyens de calibrage. Sa réputation vient en grande partie de la qualité des travaux de recherche effectués tout au long du XX siècle. Parmi de nombreux et illustres chercheurs, le NPL a accueilli Alan Turing.
  • Il National Physical Laboratory (NPL) è il laboratorio nazionale per le unità di misura per il Regno Unito. Ha sede al Bushy Park in Teddington, nei pressi di Londra. È la più grande struttura di fisica applicata del Regno Unito ed ha un ruolo simile a quello del NIST negli Stati Uniti. L'NPL è internazionalmente riconosciuto come un centro di eccellenza nel campo delle misure e della scienza dei materiali. Fin dal 1900, ha sviluppato e mantenuto i principali standard nazionali di misurazione. Oggi fornisce le risorse scientifiche al National Measurement System finanziato dal Department of Trade and Industry (Dipartimento del Commercio e dell'Industria). L'NPL inoltre offre una serie di servizi commerciali applicando le proprie conoscenze scientifiche ai problemi di misurazione industriale e trasmette il segnale orario MSF. L'NPL coopera con reti di professionisti come quella dell'IEE per supportare scienziati ed ingegneri nelle aree legate ai propri campi di competenza. Tra i ricercatori che hanno lavorato presso l'NPL si possono annoverare Paul Baran e Donald Davies ideatori della tecnica del packet switching alla fine degli anni '60, Louis Essen che ideò un orologio atomico più preciso dei primi costruiti negli Stati Uniti, Alan Turing, uno dei padri dell'informatica che presso loro sviluppò l'Automatic Computing Engine, Robert Watson-Watt, generalmente considerato l'inventore del radar, Oswald Kubaschewski, il padre della termodinamica dei materiali computazionale e James Wilkinson, ricercatore nell'ambito dell'analisi numerica. Per il 2005 è previsto il completamento di un nuovo, avanzatissimo laboratorio costruito con l'ausilio di capitali privati.
