For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build ...

When microscopic particles of sand, ash, or dust collide in the air, they often exchange a tiny electrical charge. This tiny ...

Whether you’re debating grid stability or cyber resilience, building both power and trust into data centers is essential.

Static electricity may seem simple. Students often learn that rubbing a balloon against their hair will cause negatively ...

When high-voltage electricity breaks out in open air, it rips through the atmosphere, forming chaotic, branching fingers of electric plasma. These electrical arcs are difficult to control. They branch ...

There’s a shocking lack of understanding of the physics underlying this commonplace phenomenon, but researchers are on the ...

The familiar phenomenon has puzzled researchers for centuries, but experiments are finally making sense of its unruly behaviours.

If you’ve ever felt a shock after rubbing your hair with a balloon or shuffling across a carpet, you’ll know that static electricity can be a real pain. But for the scientists who study it, the pain ...

Seemingly random charging of identical materials depends on the carbonaceous molecules stuck to their surfaces ...

Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient ...

Learn how changing magnetic fields can generate electricity with Faraday’s Law in this educational video! Explore the fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction, understand how moving magnets ...

Electricity prices jumped 6.9% in 2025 year over year, more than double the headline inflation rate of 2.9%, according to Goldman Sachs. Prices will continue to rise through the end of the decade as ...
