Then they measured the capacitance (the ability to hold an electric charge) of 4, 000 different positions to pinpoint the ideal mixture.

ECONOMIST: Combinatorial chemistry

Researchers from Dartmouth have come up with a new way to provide health monitors just such an ability using a tiny electric current and a bioimpedance sensor.
