Sentences with phrase «with small electric currents»

Not exact matches

Creating light in small structures on the surface of a chip is crucial for developing fully integrated «photonic» circuits that do with light what is now done with electric currents in semiconductor integrated circuits.

Catania placed his arm in a tank with a 40 - centimeter - long electric eel (relatively small as eels go) and determined, in amperes, the electrical current that flowed into him when the eel struck.

Extrapolating from his experience with a small eel, Catania estimates that a human struck on the trunk by a larger, 1.8 - meter - long electric eel might endure a current of 0.24 amperes, or 63 watts of power.

Boeing has experimented with them in smaller aircraft, in anticipation of using them on its 787 - 8, the current state - of - the - art electric airplane.

With today's device microprocessors, electric current passes through transistors, which are essentially very small electronic switches.

Using a rotating electric current that induces a magnetic field, computer data could be transferred to small particles of magnetic materials, with each particle aligned either up or down, representing a one or a zero.

This scientific area has attracted much interest due to its potential to write small magnetic elements with a low - power electric field rather than magnetic fields that require high - power charge currents.

There are two small companies that have demonstrated reason for hope in the auto industry: one is building a better battery, one that has around 4 times the capacity with the same footprint as today's auto batteries; the other company has built, and is now selling a 2 seater, fully electric vehicle with a reported 200 mile plus range (that's about twice the current range of a Rav4 EV).
