The film discusses how atoms are made of particles, including electrons, and illustrates the concept of electric charge through experiments with balloons and other objects. It also touches on the ...

Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity – enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 ...

In just the first 259 days of data collection, KATRIN, a beta-decay-based detector in Germany, has set the smallest upper ...

Water falls on Earth every day as rain, and now scientists seem to have found a way of using it to create renewable ...

In 1953, scientist Stanley Miller performed an experiment that may explain what occurred on primitive Earth billions of years ago. He sent an electrical charge through a flask of a chemical ...

Newly observed depinning phenomenon could aid the development of more efficient energy harvesters and help keep next-generation fuel-handling systems safe ...

Scientists trying to discover the elusive mass of neutrinos, tiny "ghost particles" that could solve some of the universe's ...

The video linked below is his latest, describing the apparatus one Francis Hauksbee used to generate static electric charges for his early 18th-century experiments. Hauksbee’s name is nowhere ...

This fascinating experiment demonstrates the invisible force of static electricity and shows how electrical charges can move objects without touching them. Watch this simple but fascinating experiment ...

Static electricity is a build up of electric charge on an object ... can reach temperatures of around 30 000 °C. Try this experiment at home to find out how objects can discharge, as the charge ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on ...
