BLOG Catch Engineering Live: How Do We Get More Kids Into STEM? NEWS Dutch seek to harness energy from salt water mix NEWS Hitting graphene with microbullets confirms its strength NEWS Researchers explore 3-D microsurgical anatomy of brainstem NEWS Researchers develop a magnetic levitating gear It's easy to say we need more kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), the challenge comes in finding ways to accomplish it. Whether it's the toys they play with as kids, or the classes they take as students, we are experiencing a surge in the STEM movement to (at least) encourage children to develop the basic skills involved in engineering and science, so they can decide for themselves if it's more of a future than an interest.

Share FULL STORY Sensing Elements for Current Measurements There are many choices of sensing elements to measure current to a load. No one sensor is the perfect solution because for every positive about a sensing element, there's a drawback. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of three types of current sensing elements.
