  • Applying an electric current and getting a muscle to jump is easy. (Alessandro Volta jolted a frog's legs 218 years ago.) Peckham is harvesting the body's own electrical signals to control muscles that have been cut off from the nervous system, a process called functional electrical stimulation, or FES. Peckham runs a group called the Cleveland FES Center, a collaboration among Case Western Reserve and two Cleveland hospitals.

  • All planes have batteries, but the Dreamliner needs especially powerful ones because its control systems are driven entirely by electrical signals in place of the hydraulic controls seen on earlier generations of jet.

  • These, he says, are 1, 500 times better than existing sensors at detecting hydrogen. (The gas combines with the tubes, changing their electrical properties.) Hydrogen detection is used to help control certain processes in industrial food production, for tweaking fuel combustion in car engines, and in monitoring certain bacterial infections.

    ECONOMIST: Was the carbon nanotube overhyped?

  • It sounds unbelievable, but the technology actually relies on understood phenomena, exploiting the electrical signals produced by the brain as well as eye movement to control electronic devices.

  • But the central point about both taps and transistors is that they allow a small signal the twist of a hand or the increase of a voltage to control a much larger one the rush of water or of electrical current.

    ECONOMIST: The middle age of the transistor

  • "If you have a massive electrical problem it's possible that you could cut off all the commands out to the control surfaces, " said aeronautics expert John Hansman.
