Gene transfection by electroporation is improved approximately two times when orientation of electric field is changed during pulse application, while cell viability is not affected. The increase in gene transfection is caused by the increase of the membrane area which is made competent for DNA entry into the cell.

This video demonstrates a method for assessing transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells in vitro. A high TEER value indicates intact endothelial cell junctions, while the addition of activated T cells lowers the TEER value, reflecting disruption of the junctional barrier.

Melting Land and Sea Ice ExpandNOTE: This activity is a simulation of land- and sea-ice melting and their effects on water levels. First, label one graduated cylinder as 'Sea Ice' and the other graduated cylinder as 'Land Ice.' Hypotheses: the experimental hypothesis might be that the land ice melting will cause the water level to rise more than the melting sea ice. The null hypothesis would be that there will be no difference in the change in water level between the two containers. Add 10 ice...

Climate Change - Concepts

The certainty of climate change remains a public controversy despite the consensus among approximately 97% of active climate researchers, who not only agree that the Earth’s climate is changing but also state that this change is intensified by human activity, predominantly carbon emissions 1. The disconnect between the public and the experts is partly due to poor understanding of the mechanisms involved in climate change as well as the differences among essential concepts such as weather and...

This publication describes the fabrication of an organ-on-chip device with integrated electrodes for direct quantification of transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER). For validation, the blood-brain barrier was mimicked inside this microfluidic device and its barrier function was monitored. The presented methods for electrode integration and direct TEER quantification are generally applicable.
FAQs
The measured change depends on both the material and its geometry. A change in resistivity alters how strongly the material opposes current, while changes in conductor length or cross-sectional area also shift the measured value. Separating these contributions helps engineers determine whether a signal reflects environmental conditions, physical deformation, or a change in the sensing element itself.
Temperature can modify resistivity and the behavior of charge carriers, changing the relationship between voltage and current. This effect allows a resistance measurement to serve as an indicator of thermal conditions in a resistive temperature detector. In engineering instrumentation, recognizing temperature sensitivity is also important when interpreting resistance changes caused by other physical variables.
Mechanical deformation can alter the electrical properties or geometry of a sensing element, producing a measurable resistance variation. Strain gauges use this response to translate changes associated with deformation into electrical signals. The resulting signal can support measurements of structural behavior, provided the resistance change is measured and calibrated so that it corresponds meaningfully to the mechanical condition.
A typical workflow measures the sensing element’s electrical response, relates the observed resistance variation to the relevant physical or environmental condition, and calibrates that relationship for instrumentation use. Calibration is essential because it establishes how a measured change should be interpreted. This process supports more consistent signals in temperature detection, strain measurement, displacement sensing, and monitoring systems.
Engineering applications include resistive temperature detectors, strain gauges, displacement sensors, structural health monitoring, process control, and condition-based maintenance. In each case, the resistance response provides information about a changing condition rather than serving only as an electrical property. These applications help instrumentation systems detect trends, monitor assets, and support decisions about operating or maintenance conditions.
Measured resistance changes can indicate variations in structural or operating conditions, giving engineers a basis for tracking system behavior over time. When the measurements are calibrated, they can support structural health monitoring and condition-based maintenance rather than relying solely on fixed schedules. The resulting information can improve instrumentation sensitivity and reliability while helping identify conditions that require attention.
