Two-point versus three-point calibration: Choosing the best method for accurate pH measurement
While two-point calibration offers a quicker and simpler solution for routine checks, three-point calibration provides a more comprehensive adjustment that can account for electrode non-linearity and drift over a wider pH range.
New portable laser system from China targets drones
The new system focuses a laser beam on a distant target, such as a drone. That beam burns through wires, destroys sensors and cameras, or overheats battery packs, thus destroying the drone.
