Measure twice, cut once. That’s sound advice, though no guarantee you won't measure wrong twice. Some measuring errors occur before the ruler is in hand, while interpreting plans. Other errors spring ...

Battery cell voltage is the most fundamental measurement made on the cell. While on the surface measuring voltage seems easy, challenges and accuracy considerations must be understood before your cell ...

My recent heart attack has given me a new-found interest in the topic of blood pressure and its measurement. This is the measurement device I've been using. I don't mean to recommend this one device ...

A former engineer at Facebook and Google, Joshua Redstone combined his passion for mathematics and cooking by inventing a cup that minimizes measuring errors. For Joshua Redstone, the realization that ...
