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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
