Measuring Instrument

Breakthrough could pave the way for next-generation GPS in drones, smartphones and self-driving cars, scientists say.

Nearly every modern cellphone has a built-in compass, or magnetometer, that detects the direction of Earth's magnetic field, providing critical information for navigation. Now a team of researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a technique that uses an ordinary cellphone magnetometer for an entirely different purpose—to measure the concentration of glucose, a marker for…

A pancake stack of films flying in the stratosphere turned out to be an excellent observatory.

OJ 287 is recognized as a binary black hole system with a slowly spiraling orbit caused by loss of energy to gravitational radiation. This energy loss was already confirmed in 2008. Subsequent measurements have confirmed this orbit solution, most recently in 2023.

It's the measuring device of the future, with a 1.14-inch Full-Color LCD Display, and you can get it on sale for a limited time.

A research team led by Professor Wang Jian, the deputy chief designer of the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) and a faculty member of the State Key Laboratory of Nuclear Detection and Nuclear Electronics of the School of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), carried out the key technology of the main focus camera. The results were published in IEEE…

The new products address the critical issue of temperature rises within electronic equipment.

Every other consumer electronic device on the market performs some form of DC voltage conversion. The reason is simple: the voltage you get out of a typical battery or a cheap wall wart is seldom right for every part of the circuit — from motors, to LCD backlights, to latest-generation digital chips.

Water makes up 71% of Earth's surface, but no one knows how or when such massive quantities of water arrived on Earth.

Providing the defense, industrial, space, and aerospace markets with groundbreaking test and measurement solutions that offer the highest level of accuracy, safety, and exceptional product reliability.

UNSW Sydney research demonstrates a 20x improvement in resetting a quantum bit to its '0' state, using a modern version of the 'Maxwell's demon'.

In thin, two-dimensional semiconductors, electrons move, spin and synchronize in unusual ways. For researchers, understanding the way these electrons carry out their intricate dances—and learning to manipulate their choreography—not only lets them answer fundamental physical questions, but can yield new types of circuits and devices.

Scientists at the University of Oxford recently published the results of a mind-blowing experiment wherein they entangled two atomic clocks at a record-breaking distance of two meters. Up ...

The focus of Apple Watch over the years has been ever increasingly towards a health device. For Apple Watch 7, Apple's webpage markets points to Apple Watch being "The Future of Health" with sensors for measuring blood oxygen and the ability to take an ECG at any time. One of the possible next health related features that Apple is working on is measuring blood pressure, with or without a blood pressure cuff. Today,…

The D2GW series is the industry's smallest sealed ultra subminiature basic switch

The right temperature matters—whether in technical processes, for the quality of food and medicines, or the lifetime of electronic components and batteries. For this purpose, temperature indicators record (un)desired temperature increases that can be read out later. Researchers in the group led by Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel, professor of inorganic chemistry at FAU, have succeeded in developing a novel temperature…
