Steve shows how the land and water are truly connected, and things get a little shocking with electrical circuits. Steve Trash Science is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App ...

Electricity powers nearly everything we use daily, but what is it really? In this video, we unravel the true nature of electricity, explaining it in simple yet fascinating terms. At its core, ...

The process is called extracellular respiration, which mimics how batteries discharge electric current -- allowing bacteria ...

Water drops produce electricity when dripped through a small tube. That power might be harnessed as renewable energy in rainy places.

The study reveals that pili aren't nanowires at all, they're internal "pistons" that push the true conductive filaments out ...

In high school science class, we learned that plugging a cable into an electrical circuit sets off a flow of electrons, powering everything from our lights to our phones. Traditionally ...

Marks notes that while most people associate static electricity with demonstrations such as hair-raising elementary science experiments or touching a doorknob after rubbing your pet’s fur ...

A newly discovered silicone variant is a semiconductor, University of Michigan researchers have discovered—upending ...

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of ...

This current is then enough to deliver that static electricity-driven 'zap' when ... professor of materials science and engineering at Northwestern. “People have tried, but they could not ...

Construction of the Eugene Sayan Visitor Center at Tesla Science Center starts in June, marking a significant step in ...

Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully.
