A new study has found an interesting and, perhaps, important property of ice. It appears to generate electricity when it is ...

The circuit breaker is one of the most important but least understood parts of your home electrical system, keeping you safe from electrical fires. Appliance Science looks at how they work.

Replacing electricity with light: First physical 'metatronic' circuit created Date: February 23, 2012 Source: University of Pennsylvania Summary: The technological world of the 21st century owes a ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated the transduction of optical radiation to electrical current in a molecular circuit.

Circuit diagrams like the one below are used to illustrate a circuit’s different components, or parts, and the direction of its current: A switch in a circuit is any component that can open or close ...

Molecular-scale circuits that link together tiny transistors, wires, and switches to carry out basic computing operations were named this year's top scientific achievement by the journal Science ...

Current electricity is a flow of electrons that moves along a continuous and closed path called a circuit. Electric current flows easily through certain materials called conductors.

Single-molecule transistors and other comparably small components are now at work in prototype circuits that may eventually lead to electronic devices crammed with up to 100,000 times more ...

The Squishy Circuits team developed this activity so that young children (including my own daughters) would have a playful way to explore circuits. Squishy Circuits use two different types of dough as ...
