Scientists have developed a sensor for measuring the strength of electric fields, which is much smaller, simpler and less prone to distortion than comparable devices. TU Wien has developed a sensor ...

A new device and technique have been developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers for measuring "breakdown" voltage -- the voltage required to produce electrical arcs when ...

Electricity is a key aspect of life, and is required for organisms to move and communicate. The movement of tiny charged particles called ions across the membranes that enclose cells are what ...

MR. ASPINALL PARR has aimed at giving a description of all the leading electrical measuring instruments on the market, and he has carried out this object with a painstaking thoroughness worthy of a ...

Microscopic probes developed at Rice University have simplified the process of measuring electrical activity in individual cells of small living animals. The technique allows a single animal like a ...

A ‘meter is one of the most important tools on any electronics bench. After you’ve exhausted your five senses trying to figure out what’s happening in a circuit, firing up the old ‘meter is usually ...

It’s difficult to accurately measure the performance of maintenance workers because there are so many variables. Consider what happens if you reduce performance measurement to merely counting ...

When a voltage is applied to a material or device,current will flow through it. How much current will flow is based on theresistance that the material applies to a circuit. The resistance of a ...

Accurately measuring electric fields is important in a variety of applications, such as weather forecasting, process control on industrial machinery, or ensuring the safety of people working on ...
