The steep dependence of channel opening on membrane voltage allows voltage-dependent K + channels to turn on almost like a switch. Opening is driven by the movement of gating charges that originate ...

Electric motors that are either poorly maintained or which lack the proper electrical protection are the second greatest cause of electrical fires. So says the Factory Mutual Research Corp., a ...

Voltage sensors are structures within a protein that can sense the membrane potential. The movement of the sensing charges, combined with the configuration of the electric field, determines the extent ...

Tick tracer. Glow meter. Sniffer. They go by many names, but capacitive voltage sensors are all designed to do one thing: detect the presence of voltage in a wire or piece of equipment without ...
