Hello everyone,

My apologies if I am posting in the wrong area, however, I do believe my question belong here.

Has anyone heard of any new technologies or processes going on in the field of electrical engineering? anything broad will do.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
It would be really long answer, but some topics are:

- Smart grids;
- Quantum computing;
- Nanomotors and nanorobots;
- Wireless power transfer;
- Wireless sensor networks;
- Cloud computing;

You will find the most popular articles on IEEE library (they give you an idea of what are the most read topics): http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/browsePopular.jsp
 
industry trade journals are a good place to keep abreast of "what's new".
They aren't on news-stands though.

Try using Google to look at recent issues of EDN magazine, Appliance Magazine, Power magazine, Computer Design magazine(if it's still in print), Industrial Research magazine, Imaging and Technology, ...
Once google figures out you have this interest it will adjust itself to help you find more..

Pennwell Publishing produces a lot of them.

Good Hunting.

Maybe some of the industry people here n PF will chime in with some of their regular reads.

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
