Researchers measure energy below a zeptojoule–enough for a red blood cell to move a nanometer

A new method for measuring incredibly miniscule amounts of energy – less than a trillionth of a billionth of a joule – could give quantum computing and the hunt for dark matter a boost, while paving the way for counting individual photons.
