(THE CONVERSATION) – The modern world runs on electricity, and wires are what carry that electricity to every light, television, heating system, cellphone and computer on the planet. Unfortunately, on ...

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 ...

Using a run-of-the-mill, portable and non-invasive electrical muscle stimulator while doing resistance training can yield greater gains in muscle strength and muscle mass than doing resistance ...

From floating trains to powerful MRI coils and particle accelerators, superconductors drive some of the most advanced ...

Devices could eliminate the strong magnetic fields currently required to define the standard unit of resistance ...

In this video, Jonny Nelson explains resistance. The current through a component depends on both the resistance of the component and the potential difference across the component.

Petrochemical plants have many thousands of feet of electric heat tracing. It’s used primarily for winterization or process heating. Winterization protection protects lines and vessels from freezing ...
