Lately, we at Keithley have been seeing a lot of interest in nanotechnology, and research laboratories in universities and in semiconductor companies are developing new nanomaterials, such as graphene ...

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 ...

The demand to increase energy efficiency in electrical products is driving the development of more accurate measurement instruments. Modern instruments now can quantify incremental gains made as ...

The UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to provide more reliable measurement of the electrical properties of materials used in nanotechnology – which could lead to much more accurate ...

Scientists at NIST have developed a quantum device that measures amperes, volts, and ohms within a single system for the first time. Reported in Nature Electronics, the breakthrough uses two ...

Siemens has expanded its power monitoring system from the Sentron portfolio by adding the 7KM PAC5100 and 7KM PAC5200 measuring devices. Designed for use in industrial plants or buildings, the new ...

In Part 1 of the Electronics for Kids series, we looked at LEDs; in Part 2, we explored capacitors. Now in Part 3, we will take an in-depth look at electrical measurements. It is impossible to discuss ...

Sometimes trying to measure electrical wires and cables in an old building is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, considering that they may be buried beneath a concrete floor or run through ...

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 ...
