Thanks to a little serendipity, researchers at Rice University have created a tiny coaxial cable that is about a thousand times smaller than a human hair and has higher capacitance than previously ...

You know about coaxial cable (Fig. 1). We all use it in one form or another, and it seems simple enough. But while modern cable products are better than ever, there are some real subtitles in their ...

Cables for the transport of radio frequency signals are almost invariably coaxial, apart from a few specialized applications such as HF aerial feeder which may use balanced lines. Coax's outstanding ...

You can use a multimeter with capacitance-measurement capability to measure the length of wire or cable to an open circuit. The capacitance of a pair of wires (or a wire to a shield) is directly ...

This article previously appeared in TV Technology. With all the research on nanotechnology, perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that one of the latest technologies to involve is coaxial cables on a nano ...

We often give even less thought to how we connect our circuits and systems to the test equipment that we use to power and measure the performance than should. We know this because we frequently see ...

Researchers have created a coaxial nanocable capacitor that outperforms previously reported microcapacitors. The three-layer, 100-nanometer-wide cable was produced with techniques pioneered in the ...
