Teridian Semiconductor’s new system-on-a-chip is an energy information powerhouse, integrating a processor, firmware and data about the electricity use of power strips, data centers, and appliances.

I get a lot of questions about energy. Electricity consumption factors into many of them. Why are electric bills so high? How can I tell when it's time to replace a refrigerator? Most of us have ...

In order to build the computers and devices of tomorrow, we have to understand how they use energy today. That's harder than it sounds. Memory storage, information processing, and energy use in these ...

A new device and technique have been developed by National Institute of Standards and Technology researchers for measuring "breakdown" voltage -- the voltage required to produce electrical arcs when ...

JERICHO, N.Y. (CBSNewYork)-- Power is going high-tech on Long Island, as PSEG rolls out a new way of measuring electricity use. But as CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reported, some are worried that the new ...

The UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to provide more reliable measurement of the electrical properties of materials used in nanotechnology – which could lead to much more accurate ...
