Today's lead INSIDER story showcased efforts from Lancaster University to create road-ready piezoelectric tiles. The electricity generated from the ceramics (and the vehicles driving over them) could someday be used to power street lamps and traffic lights.

What do you think? Will we drive on...

University of Sydney researchers have developed a three-stage method to recharge zinc-air batteries. While zinc-air batteries are currently used as an energy source in hearing aids and some film cameras and railway signal devices, their widespread use has been hindered by the fact that, up until now,...

Last week's INSIDER lead story featured an ultra-thin energy harvester from Vanderbilt University. Made from materials five thousand times thinner than a human hair, the technology may someday be woven into clothing to power personal devices. What do you think? Will "Electric Clothing" appeal to...

Regardless of discipline, application, or instrument architecture, high voltage is required to successfully convert molecular mass to a gas-ion state—measured accurately every time–from acceleration through separation, detection, measurement, and...

Despite the sophisticated nature of product development involving systems with high-voltage components, designers often face the pressures of fast cycle times. This webinar presentation covers the fundamentals of high-voltage power and discusses how you can specify up-front...

Thermal management and control largely determine overall process uniformity, product quality, and throughput in temperature-critical applications. This presentation describes the high repeatability, precision, and control available in non-contact optical pyrometers...
