Ultrasound velocimetry is used to study mixing by fluid flow in liquid metal electrodes. The focus of this manuscript is to illustrate the methods used for making precise, spatially-resolved ultrasound measurements while limiting oxidation and controlling and monitoring temperature, applied current, and the heater power being supplied.

The video demonstrates how to use a microelectrode array (MEA) to record the electrophysiological activity of neurons derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Electrophysiological activity from a multiwell MEA containing a neuron-astrocyte co-culture is recorded to detect action potentials from multiple neurons in the network, confirming the successful differentiation of hiPSCs into neurons.

On comparing the reactivity of silver and lead, it is observed that the two ionic species, Ag+ (aq) and Pb2+ (aq), show a difference in their redox reactivity towards copper: the silver ion undergoes spontaneous reduction, while the lead ion does not. This relative redox activity can be easily quantified in electrochemical cells by a property called cell potential. This property is commonly known as cell voltage in electrochemistry, and it is a measure of the energy which accompanies the charge...

FAQs
Electrode measurement can operate in two distinct electrical regimes. In potentiometric work, the system measures a potential difference while current remains minimal. In current-based work, an applied voltage promotes oxidation or reduction, and the resulting current is interpreted in relation to analyte concentration. The chosen regime determines the chemical signal being analyzed.
Ion-selective electrodes focus the measurement on the activity of a particular ion rather than treating the sample as a single undifferentiated solution. Their generated potential reflects that ion activity, so the signal can support selective chemical analysis. This principle is especially useful when samples contain multiple dissolved species and the target ion must be distinguished.
Oxidation-reduction chemistry provides the link between an imposed electrical condition and a measurable current. When the applied voltage drives these reactions, the current changes with the amount of analyte participating in the electrochemical process. Interpreting that relationship allows electrode measurements to move beyond simply detecting a signal toward analytical concentration measurements.
A practical workflow begins by matching the measurement mode to the chemical question: potential for potentiometric analysis, ion activity for ion-selective work, or current after an applied voltage for redox-based detection. The electrode system is then placed in the sample, the electrical response is recorded, and the signal is related to the desired chemical information.
Electrode measurement is useful when rapid or in situ information is needed. Chemists apply it to determine pH, perform potentiometric analysis, examine conductivity, and detect electrochemical responses in complex samples. The same analytical foundation therefore supports environmental monitoring, clinical analysis, industrial process control, and investigations of chemical reactivity.
In chemistry, the value of these measurements lies in connecting an electrical observable with chemical behavior. A potential can indicate ion activity, whereas a current can report on reactions driven by an applied voltage. This connection enables measurements in complex samples and supports both routine analysis and fundamental studies of how chemical systems undergo redox change.
