Edison was right that there was a huge market for smaller electric lights that could take the place of gas lamps, and he enjoyed significant profits from his incandescent system through the 1880s.

"If the effect is real and scaling behaves the way our equations say, then the possibility becomes real," Chyba told Newsweek ...

Doping introduces charge carriers, enabling current flow under an electric field. This allows for nonlinear current-voltage behavior, making signal amplification or switching possible, as in p–n ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

In contrast to alternating current, or AC, which, depending on the supply's frequency, switches direction 50 or 60 times per second, the current in DC circuits flows only in one direction.

The idea behind electric propulsion is that an electric current ionizes (i.e. removes an electron from) atoms of a neutral gas, such as xenon or krypton, stored on board a spacecraft.

One of the major challenges facing the electric industry is how to manage network fault levels, the magnitude of the electrical current that flows into a fault or short circuit. These current levels ...

Kirin is a Japanese company that currently sells the Electric Salt Spoon in Japan. Unfortunately, it's currently unavailable in the U.S. Fortunately, Kirin brought some for CES attendees to test.

Certainly not, but here we are. Developed by Kirin, the Electric Salt Spoon can make food taste saltier than it is using a weak electric current that shocks your tongue as you slurp stews and soups.

Transcranial direct current stimulation therapy also has significantly fewer side-effects compared to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) which also passes an electric current through the brain.
