The film explores the concept of electricity, demonstrating how it can be generated through simple experiments such as rubbing different materials together. It explains the basics of electric currents ...

Picture a big, round, fuzzy bumblebee buzzing around a flower garden, collecting nectar and pollen. A bumblebee visits a flower. KQED Deep Look on Giphy As it approaches the next flower, the bee ...

James Gibert, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and Hongcheng Tao, postdoctoral researcher, observe their test apparatus as it generates an electric charge by rubbing two surfaces ...

A group of scientists from the University of Oxford, led by Roy Cohen Kadosh, conducted a bold experiment and used weak electrical pulses stimulated the brain students to improve their math skills.

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct — that is, carry an electric current without any resistance — at far warmer temperatures than other ...

After a year of trial and error, Liyang Chen had managed to whittle down a metallic wire into a microscopic strand half the width of an E.coli bacterium — just thin enough to allow a trickle of ...

WASHINGTON — A year from now, the U.S. Navy hopes to launch a pair of small satellites that are able to harvest electrons from space and use them and the Earth’s magnetic field as a propulsion system.

A crisis, as the saying has it, combines danger and opportunity. The dangers of the current electricity crisis are obvious. The opportunity it presents is to end to the failed experiment of the ...
