Have you ever rubbed a balloon on your hair and watched it stick to the wall? That’s static electricity in action!

CASCADE, Mich. — Looking for a fun activity to do at home with your kids? This science experiment is fun for all ages and teaches static electricity during the wintertime! Meteorologist Isabella ...

Lightning is the simple process of balancing negatively and positively charged electrons in the atmosphere. We can do this on a small scale with electric shock on your finger when you and another ...

Franklin studied electricity and proved lightning’s electrical nature with a key and kite. Franklin made groundbreaking discoveries in his study of electricity. He wrote up his observations and ...

James Gibert, associate professor of mechanical engineering, and Hongcheng Tao, postdoctoral researcher, observe their test apparatus as it generates an electric charge by rubbing two surfaces ...

The film explains the concept of electrons and their role in electric circuits. It describes how electric current is the flow of electric charges, primarily electrons, which cannot be seen but can be ...

Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds using nothing more than a small vertical tube and some carefully ...

Scientists have found that it’s possible to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field using a magnetic tube resting stationary on the planet’s surface. But before ...

At any science fair, you're almost guaranteed to see at least two go-to experiments: the clichéd papier-mâché volcano and the ever-popular pickle or potato battery. Many people may think it's amazing ...

A crisis, as the saying has it, combines danger and opportunity. The dangers of the current electricity crisis are obvious. The opportunity it presents is to end to the failed experiment of the ...
