On Mir, the lights kept going out because it had developed so many electrical problems. – Helen Sharman
Iron which is brought near a spiral of copper wire, traversed by an electrical current, becomes magnetic, and then attracts other pieces of iron, or a suitably placed steel magnet. – Hermann von Helmholtz
Desktop computers – boxes inside boxes – began appearing in those cubicles in the mid-eighties, electrical cords curling on the floor like so many ropes. – Jill Lepore
Abnormalities in brain function have traditionally been detected using electroencephalography (EEG), which involves the measurement of the ongoing electrical activity generated by the brain. – Aditi Shankardass
With the assistance of electrical conductivity, we were able to trace by measurements the process of intercalation in a large number of cases and, consequently, to establish experimental foundations for the evaluation of the formation of such intercalation compounds. – Alfred Werner
Of the various branches of electrical investigation, perhaps the most interesting and immediately the most promising is that dealing with alternating currents. – Nikola Tesla
We have about 100 million cells interconnected in our brains. They communicate with one another through electrical signals. – Miguel Nicolelis
I don’t want to write any more for the old Man-power instruments and am handicapped by the lack of adequate electrical instruments for which I now conceive my music. – Edgard Varese
We know what molecules are needed to sense light – what turns that signal that detects light into an electrical signal. We know how smells are detected. But we have a vast number of senses for which we know what the signal is, but we don’t know what the receiver is. – Martin Chalfie
When reason and unreason come into contact, an electrical shock occurs. This is called polemics. – Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
These were big ones. Those companies would then go in and build an electrical system or ports or highways, and these would basically serve just a few of the very wealthiest families in those countries. – John Perkins
Byrne’s Law: In any electrical circuit, appliances and wiring will burn out to protect fuses. – Robert Byrne
