Experiments with identical replicas of Thomas Edison's original light bulbs shows the inventor may have accidentally created ...

Concrete has quietly become one of the planet’s biggest climate problems, yet it remains the backbone of modern cities and ...

Physicists have finally watched a fluid that should never freeze lock itself into a crystal pattern, then melt back again, all without losing its quantum strangeness. In a sheet of graphene, they ...

Physicists have watched a quantum fluid do something once thought almost impossible: stop moving. In experiments with ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According to a recent publication from the lab of Rice University's James Tour in ACS ...

What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According ...

Researchers in the US have uncovered evidence suggesting that Thomas Edison may have accidentally produced graphene over a century before it was ...

As we shift toward more sustainable fuels, natural gas and biogas, which mainly contain methane (CH4), have become important sources of energy and raw materials for chemical production. However, these ...

Mimicking Edison’s experimental setup, Eddy attached the light bulb to a 110-volt direct current electricity source. He allowed it to flow for 20 seconds, as bouts of heating longer than that can form ...

Early carbon light bulbs may have produced graphene, since applying voltage to carbon filaments mirrors what is now called flash Joule heating. Graphene is a transparent, remarkably strong substance, ...
