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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Genetically encoded voltage sensors are coming of age, but their use still poses challenges that must be addressed from multiple angles. Neurons process information with the help of electrical signals ...

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.

According to the classical electrokinetic theory developed since 1808, a streaming potential can build up across a liquid flow through a narrow channel in proportion to the pressure difference applied ...
