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 ...

ALTHOUGH, as the author points out in the preface, the subject of electrical measuring instruments is of great importance, there exists so far not a single work in the English language dealing ...

Warm dense matter is a state of matter that forms at extreme temperatures and pressures, like those found at the center of ...

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 ...

When EDN published its first issue in 1956, electrical measuring instruments looked a little different than they do today. Howard Skolnik, a former colleague and key analog mentor from my Burr-Brown ...

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 ...

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 ...
