"Since the revision of the SI on 20 May 2019, we can now compare the gravitational force on an object with an electromagnetic force using a Kibble balance. This allows the kilogram to be defined in term of a fixed numerical value of the Planck constant, a constant which will not change over time."
"A Kibble balance is an electromechanical measuring instrument that measures the weight of a test object very precisely by the electric current and voltage needed to produce a compensating force. It is a metrological instrument that can realize the definition of the kilogram unit of mass based on fundamental constants."
"One important reason for the change is that Big K is not constant. It has lost around 50 micrograms (about the mass of an eyelash) since it was created. But, frustratingly, when Big K loses mass, it's still exactly one kilogram, per the current definition. When Big K changes, everything else has to adjust."
