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

Researchers in the US have uncovered evidence suggesting that Thomas Edison may have accidentally ...

When researchers set out to rebuild Thomas Edison’s 1879 light bulb, they expected a history lesson, not a materials science ...

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

According to new research from Rice University, while Edison’s goal was simply to create a longer-lasting electric lamp, the extreme conditions created inside Edison’s carbon filament bulbs in those ...

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

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

To reproduce what Thomas Edison did, with the tools and knowledge we have now, is very exciting,” said co-author James Tour, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Bright, twisted light can be produced with technology similar to an Edison light bulb, researchers have shown. The finding adds nuance to fundamental physics while offering a new avenue for robotic ...
