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

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

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

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

This reminds us of how, in the 1880s, Edison observed current flowing in one direction through a test light bulb that ...

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 ...

Inventor Thomas Edison is known for being ahead of his time, and a new study could add another notch to his overachieving ...

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 ...
