After a week-long meeting between the members of the BIPM from 60 lands, a decision has come on Friday, which states that the time has come to redefine the value of a kilogram in terms of an unchanging value called the "Planck constant". So basically it's time to say bye to your old Kilogram. This will boost the accuracy of scientific measurements. They have also voted to update definitions of an ampere, Kelvin and mole.
