A seismic metamaterial is a metamaterial that is intended to mitigate the negative impacts of seismic waves on manmade constructions located on or near Earth’s…

Electromagnetic brakes (EM brakes) are used to slow or stop automobiles by applying electromagnetic force to mechanical resistance (friction). These are braking systems that employ…

An oscillating U-tube, often known as a U-tube manometer, is a simple device for measuring pressure variations in a fluid. It is made up of…

Coal phase-out is vital to address climate change, but it can have a detrimental impact on workers and local communities who rely on coal for…

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged parts of the heart to restore function. However, this surgery is apparently associated with a…

Thermal mass flow meters, also known as thermal dispersion or immersible mass flow meters, are a type of device that measures the total mass flow…

The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube used as a very high-speed switch, comparable to the thyratron. It consists of a sealed glass tube with…

A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device that functions as a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing current to flow in one direction but not…

In a new paper published in Nature Chemistry, UNC-Chapel Hill researcher Ronit Freeman and her colleagues reveal the methods they took to modify DNA and…

According to a study published in the online issue of Neurology®Clinical Practice, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, those who take acid-reducing…

A thyratron is a gas-filled tube that functions as a high-powered electrical switch and controlled rectifier. It functions similarly to a vacuum tube, but with…

A mercury-arc valve, also known as a mercury-vapor rectifier or (in the United Kingdom) mercury-arc rectifier, is a type of electrical rectifier that converts high-voltage…
