Pain is usually assessed by the interpretation of behavior, which can be subjective. Therefore, there is an ongoing search for more objective methods. Performance of skin conductance measurement as a ...

A Georgia Tech physics group has discovered how and why the electrical conductance of metal nanowires changes as their length varies. In a collaborative investigation performed by an experimental team ...

Quantized conductance — whereby the current through a wire changes in a stepwise, rather than continuous manner — has been seen in very narrow ribbons of graphene for the first time. The discovery was ...

(Phys.org)—The electronics of the future could use molecules to do their arithmetic. The tiny particles could then take over the tasks which are presently done by silicon transistors, for example.

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used measurements of skin conductance over time to tell emotions apart. Volunteers were shown videos depicting fearful scenes, family ...

Since the breakthrough discovery of the Majorana particle in 2012 in Delft, researchers faced great challenges. The group of professor Leo Kouwenhoven at QuTech and Microsoft collaborated with ...

Researchers demonstrate high electrical conductance for an antiaromatic nickel complex -- an order of magnitude higher than for a similar aromatic complex. Since the conductance is also tunable by ...
