Vitrek has introduced a 140kVdc 100kVac smart bench-top test probe. Called HVL-150, it is intended to expand the measurement range of the firm’s Model 4700 precision high-voltage meter. The probe has a proprietary low thermal coefficient attenuator that minimises the effects of self-heating (0.2ppm of reading per KV2), and low capacitance for ac measurement. Alone, ...

A simulation developed by Kyoto University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology could help scientists decide what molecules best interact with each other to build nanomaterials from scratch. The approach involves connecting the chemical properties of molecules with the nanostructures that form as a result of their interaction. A machine learning technique generates data that ...
