Currents were found to flow from cold to hot temperatures in some materials, described as ‘almost like watching a movie in reverse’. Scientists in Ireland and Spain have made a peculiar discovery that ...

The vast majority of bearing failures in electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment are due to mechanical and thermal causes. However, currents that flow through induction motor bearings can ...

Cambridge University researchers have made a breakthrough in the manufacture of high-temperature superconducting materials, producing samples claimed to carry record quantities of electrical current.

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is Earth's largest oceanic current, circling around Antarctica from west to east in ...

One of the leading killers during explosive volcanic eruptions is a family of superheated gas, ash, and debris known as pyroclastic density currents. These tumbling, turbulent paroxysms rush downslope ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

A Japanese research group has discovered that a coffee compound can actually increase the efficiency of current flow by up to 100 times. Suddenly, spilling coffee on your keyboard might not be a bad ...
