Gulf Air emergency landing causes chaos Nov 12, 2009
The flight with 140 passengers on board had an electric circuit failure, forcing the pilot to take a U-turn. However, the aircraft was stuck on the runway for almost 30 minutes, holding up both departures and arrivals till it was towed away to the parking bay. (India Times, India -- Intl Business)
One of world's largest solar projects is planned near Cle Elum Nov 2, 2009
Capturing the electrons with electrical conductors forms an electric circuit that can be used as electricity. Many large-scale solar projects like the Teanaway Solar Reserve are made up of silicon-coated solar panels. (Longview Daily News, WA)
Language lab Oct 31, 2009
Instead of connecting computers rather as telephone exchanges work, using switches to set up an electric circuit over which data could be sent, packet switching breaks a message into chunks and sends each chunk - or packet - separately, reassembling them at the receiving end. Late on October 29 1969 Charley Kline sat down at a computer in the computer laboratory at UCLA, where he was a student, and established a link to a system at the nearby Stanford Research Institute, sending the first data...

Two fencers found club to reconnect with sport they love and inspire swashbucklers in training Jun 16, 2009
Also, foil fencers were a lam, or a metal mesh vest that trips an electric circuit when struck by the sword and is used for electric scoring. In foil, only a hit to the area covered by the lam is scored. (Helena Independent Record, MT)
Understanding Volts, Amps, and Ohms... Jun 4, 2009
The current (I), potential difference (V), and resistance (R) of an electric circuit are related by : V=IR.. Volts, amps, and ohms are common units for electrical measurements both in household circuits and in physics. (Suite101.com)

Probing Clouds' Roles In Global Electric Circuit Jun 1, 2009
Called the Wilson current, this phenomenon has long been considered a critical component of the global electric circuit; however, only a few studies have directly investigated this current, yielding only a few dozen measurements ... They find that one third of the clouds studied did not have lightning yet still generated significant Wilson currents, confirming that such "shower" clouds do play a critical role in the global electric circuit ... They also find that 7 percent of storms produced... (Science Daily)

Covering the bases: Quantum effect may hold promise for low-cost DNA sequencing, sensor applications Mar 23, 2009
In a classical electric circuit, a gate is either open or closed, permitting or blocking the flow of current. But, as Lindsay explains, "when you start to get two electrodes so close to one another that they are within a few atomic diameters, then the electrons can actually leak from one electrode to the other, because in quantum mechanics, they're not confined." These electrons, which violate classical mechanics as they hop across the tiny junction, are said to "tunnel.". (EurekAlert!)
