Explore the fascinating world of science with our latest experiment where we demonstrate how to generate 130 volts from a simple 3-volt battery. In this video, you'll learn the step-by-step process to ...

We're going "Back to School" today, revisiting a classic at-home experiment that turns lemons into batteries — powerful enough to turn on a clock or a small lightbulb. But how does the science driving ...

A new water-based battery design is safer and more energy-efficient than traditional lithium-ion batteries, Chinese researchers claim. The water-battery has a lifetime of over 1,000 charge-discharge ...

A gooey science experiment with his kids inspired Gabriel Veith—a researcher at the DOE Oak Ridge National Laboratory ...

Early experiments have revealed significant benefits to a dry battery manufacturing process. This eliminates the use of toxic solvents while showing promise for delivering a battery that is durable, ...

As part of the goal of tackling climate change, more and more people are using electric vehicles, which produce just a fraction of the carbon dioxide emissions as their gasoline-powered counterparts.

Turning the sun’s energy directly into electricity has long been a goal of scientists. In Washington last week, the Bell Telephone Laboratories demonstrated a solar battery which can convert sunlight ...

Scientists develop a porous structures for lithium metal batteries. Just as road signs provide directions and distances to help travelers avoid getting lost, "signposts" guide people in specific ...

Atomic batteries powered by radioisotopes were one of the first dreams of the Atomic Age, but the dream has taken a long time to turn into reality. Most atomic batteries have produced too little ...
