Managing plant nutrition based on substrate EC is better than fertilizer solution EC as substrate EC directly measures the amount of nutrients in the root zone. There are both in-house and laboratory ...

Scientists report an entirely new approach to manipulation of carbon nanotubes that allows physical measurements to be made on carbon nanotubes that have previously only been possible by theoretical ...

SOIL permeability or hydraulic conductivity is of great importance in the engineering design of foundations, dams, sub-surface drainage systems, irrigation systems, etc. In spite of its importance, ...

You would use flow-through conductivity sensors in “any application where the measurement of liquid conductivity or the percent concentration of a liquid is required,” states Nick Nichols, product ...

Conductivity sensors can do more than just measure conductivity. Calculated values from the M800 Transmitter using conductivity data can provide valuable cycle chemistry information, confirm on-line ...

Measurements of conductivity and refractive index in nectar from buds and flowers of Antirrhinum majus indicate that the concentration of electrolytes and of sugars increase with time.

Researchers have made the most sensitive measurements to date of how quickly electric charge moves in silicon, a gauge of its performance as a semiconductor. Silicon, the best-known semiconductor, is ...
