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

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

More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder ...

When Thomas Alva Edison was painstakingly testing carbonized filaments for his early light bulbs in 1879, he was chasing a ...

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 ...

Researchers in the US have uncovered evidence suggesting that Thomas Edison may have accidentally ...

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, ...

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 ...

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