A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with ...

Experiments with identical replicas of Thomas Edison's original light bulbs shows the inventor may have accidentally created ...

More than a century before graphene was isolated in a modern lab, Thomas Edison may have been unknowingly making the wonder ...

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the ...

What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According ...

A modern materials study suggests that Thomas Edison’s early light bulb experiments may have unknowingly produced graphene decades before the material was formally theorized or isolated. Thomas Edison ...

What do Thomas Edison and 2010 Nobel Prize in physics winners Konstantin Novoselov and Andre Geim have in common? According to a recent publication from the lab of Rice University's James Tour in ACS ...

Early carbon light bulbs may have produced graphene, since applying voltage to carbon filaments mirrors what is now called flash Joule heating. Graphene is a transparent, remarkably strong substance, ...

Researchers in the US have uncovered evidence suggesting that Thomas Edison may have accidentally produced graphene over a ...

Mimicking Edison’s experimental setup, Eddy attached the light bulb to a 110-volt direct current electricity source. He allowed it to flow for 20 seconds, as bouts of heating longer than that can form ...

To commemorate the beginning of summer, the Edison Museum in Beaumont is introducing a new free exhibit and experiment that will run all summer long. Of course, as the Edison Museum, the experiment ...
