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

When researchers set out to rebuild Thomas Edison’s 1879 light bulb, they expected a history lesson, not a materials science surprise. By carefully recreating his carbon filaments and punishing them ...

Researchers at Rice University suggest Edison may have inadvertently created graphene in 1879 – a "wonder material" that wasn ...

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

Suu, the historic factory that symbolised the electrification of the Soviet Union promoted by Vladimir Ilič is on the verge ...

Researchers in the US have uncovered evidence suggesting that Thomas Edison may have accidentally produced graphene over a ...

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 ...

Researchers recreated an 1879-style carbon-filament light bulb and found it could reach temperatures needed to form ...

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 ...

Rice University researchers recreated Edison's 1879 light bulb and found evidence it may have produced graphene by accident.

When Thomas Alva Edison was painstakingly testing carbonized filaments for his early light bulbs in 1879, he was chasing a ...
