Indirect extension measurement involves determining specimen extension by measuring the variation in the distance between the testing machine crossheads. Thus, it includes the deformations of all ...

The somatic voltage clamp technique has revolutionized understanding of synaptic physiology and the excitability of neurons. Although computer simulations have indicated that the somatic voltage clamp ...

Researchers have applied a recently developed technique to directly measure for the first time the polarization states of light. Their work both overcomes some important challenges of Heisenberg's ...

The number of ions belonging to various elements in a sample reveals a particular narrative. In foods and beverages, certain limits for various ions are established to protect health and guarantee a ...

It has been over a century since altered tumor cell metabolism was first observed. Since that time, metabolic reprogramming has become widely recognized as a core characteristic of cancer, and there ...

The Earth wobbles. Like a spinning top touched in mid-spin, its rotational axis fluctuates in relation to space. This is partly caused by gravitation from the sun and the moon. At the same time, the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Current-consumption monitoring is more important than ever due to the overwhelming trend toward smaller-sized ...

Very often, in the test and measurement industry, a measurement is made by instrumentation, which is often subject to errors. It is difficult to estimate the true value of the measured quantity given ...

Although there are indirect methods for determining the through-thickness tensile strength of a solid laminate (see “Learn More,” at right), direct loading can be achieved even if the laminate is thin ...
