What Is The Hall Effect? Discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879, the Hall effect is a phenomenon when voltage (potential difference) is generated across a current-carrying conductor when it is placed in a ...

This article focuses on single-cell electrophysiology and introduces the fundamentals of electrophysiological investigation by describing the ionic basis of action potentials and the different ...

Editor’s note: This month’s guest author is John P. Griffith, a systems engineer for the Interface group at TI, where he has supported CAN and RS485 transceivers in both applications and systems ...

Voltage sensors are structures within a protein that can sense the membrane potential. The movement of the sensing charges, combined with the configuration of the electric field, determines the extent ...

(Nanowerk News) Photothermoelectric (PTE) effect involves two energy conversion processes: photothermal conversion and thermoelectric effect. When the incident light is locally absorbed, a temperature ...

The simplest complete circuit is a piece of wire from one end of a battery to the other. An electric current can flow in the wire from one end of the battery to the other, but nothing useful happens.
