Watch this video to learn more about what an electrical circuit is and how it works. Electrical energy flows around circuits which are loops made of metal wires. In this game, touching the wire with ...

To make something work using electricity there needs to be an electrical circuit; a circuit is a complete loop that electricity can move around. Electricity moves from the power source (the battery or ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are breaking technical barriers with faster circuit breakers to enable and protect the modern electric grid. The ORNL team ...

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 ...

Berkeley Lab researchers have developed a peel-and-stick electricity meter which allows individual circuits in the home and industry to be accurately monitored. It is an alternative to current ...

Japanese semiconductor maker Rohm is looking to vanquish vampire power, the energy wasted by tech on stand-by, with its new LSI circuits. The circuits consume no electricity even when in stand-by mode ...

Transient cosmic ray phenomena produced by a solar superstorm can be linked to variations in atmospheric electricity.
