Industry expert Jason Chonko shares strategies for overcoming challenges in high-resistance and low-signal electrical ...
When you need a multimeter for testing electrical equipment around the home, it's vital to know what all those symbols around the dial mean.
Measuring tiny differences in high-voltage circuits usually requires specialized differential test probes, which are often expensive. Fortunately, it’s possible to build your own high-voltage probe ...
Abstract: In this article, a miniaturized, easy-to-apply, low-cost capacitive angle encoder is designed. Compared to traditional capacitive encoders, the encoder is more compact. The encoder is ...
Abstract: In this work, we present for the first time, the use of a simple fractal capacitive biosensor for the quantification and detection of sex-determining region Y (SRY) genes. This section of ...
Two mathematicians have proved that a straightforward question — how hard is it to untie a knot? — has a complicated answer.

How to Measure Nothing Better

Cold atoms could also potentially measure much lower vacuum pressures than ion gauges can. The current lowest pressure they’ve reliably measured is around 10 -9 Pa, and NIST scientists are working on ...
Over on YouTube our hacker [VIP Love Secretary] shows us how to make a simple MOSFET tester. This is a really neat, useful, elegant, and simple hack, but the video is kind of terrible. We found ...
The video cassette tape was really the first successful home video format; discs just couldn’t compete back in the early days ...
Scientists from the laboratory of Dr. Tomáš Pluskal at IOCB Prague are helping colleagues around the world identify previously unknown compounds. They have created an extensive library called MSnLib, ...
Blood glucose monitoring is an essential tool for managing diabetes. It helps identify how your blood sugar levels respond to factors like diet, exercise, and medications so you can change your ...
