We all carry supercomputers in our pockets and use dozens of electric gizmos every day but rarely stop to marvel at the magical act of flicking a switch. Use your ordinary conducting and extraordinary ...

The film explains the fundamentals of electricity, including static and current electricity, the behavior of electrons, and the concept of electrical circuits. It demonstrates how static electricity ...

Electrical engineering is the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. In simple terms, it is about understanding how electricity works in order to use the knowledge ...

Churning with voltage and resembling an explosion at the wire factory, the breaker panel exudes mystique. But it's just a big switch, filled with other smaller ­switches, which lead to the switches ...

For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

Fran: Ahhh, I almost won that one as well! Now, our appliances and devices, they all work because of the electrical current that flows into them through a circuit. An electrical circuit is made of a ...

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 ...

Researchers have combined liquid metal and a heat-activated adhesive to create an electrically conductive patch that bonds to ...

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have taken the term ‘green power’ literally by running an electric circuit from the power generated by trees. Sure, there isn’t much electrical power ...

Iron-on patches can repair clothing or add personal flair to backpacks and hats. And now they could power wearable tech, too.
