English Heritage, which is responsible for maintaining Stonehenge, is carrying out a study of
the electrical resistivity of the earth around the site.
«In fact,» Prof. Lugli explains, «
the electrical resistivity of such films can be modulated by either an applied voltage (to provide a transistor action) or by the adsorption of gas molecules, which in turn is a signature of the gas concentration for sensor applications.»

«These crystals produced very high thermoelectric powers over a wide temperature range, from the cryogenic level
of 50 K (which is around -223 °C) up to room temperature, but still maintained the low

For example, Dafflon et al. [2017] demonstrated in a polygonal tundra how soil
electrical resistivity tomography and vegetation activity cameras can be merged with in situ measurements in a way to corroborate the role
of active layer thickness and polygon geometry on spatial control on productivity, and demonstrate how changes in solute concentration and unfrozen water content in winter contributes to acceleration
of permafrost thaw.
