D.E.V.I.C.E. is an encyclopedia of terms used by manufacturers of test and measurement equipment. T&M Atlantic created this service to better explain the functionality of instruments it offers, and to highlight the latest developments in the world of measurement equipment. We are using such tools as animation to bring words and pictures to life and to create not just an understanding but also an appreciation for technology that goes into the design of every instrument.

On November 21, 1905, Albert Einstein published his article “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?” in “Annalen der Physik” journal.
In this article he revealed the relationship between energy and mass that would eventually lead to the famous mass-energy equivalence formula E=mc2.
Actually in the article this equation is not originally written as a formula but as a sentence in German saying that "if a body releases the energy L in the form of radiation, its mass diminishes by L/V2". Einstein uses V to mean the speed of light in a vacuum and L to mean the energy lost by a body in the form of radiation.
