Characterizing devices at low current levels requires knowledge, skill, and the right test equipment. Even with all three, achieving accuracy in these measurements can be a challenge because the current level is often at or below the noise level of the test setup. To ensure measurement accuracy, it is important to know the type of [...]

Harnessing the power of tidal currents has the potential to provide unheard of clean, renewable energy production. Nanotechnology, with its innovative approach and non-surpassed success rate, may be the conduit needed to perfect the viability of ocean-current power as an alternative energy source. Ocean currents are a natural phenomena located along most coastlines. The only [...]

Nanotechnology is the technology of the future it will provide new ways of manufacturing products so that products will be smaller but more powerful. According to NNS, “Nanotechnology deals with objects smaller than 100 nanometers, a nanometer being 1 billionth of a meter. For perspective, consider that the average human hair is 100,000 nanometers wide. [...]

What is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology, shortened to “nanotech”, is the study of controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices within that size. One nanometer (nm) is one billionth, or 10−9 of a [...]
