A new study from Enteligent found that shifting from traditional alternating current (AC) power to 800V direct current (800VDC) can dramatically reduce cost, energy waste, and infrastructure ...

A wafer-thin flake of bismuth telluride can act a little like a one-way street for electricity, even when the push comes from ...

AI data centers are demanding a more efficient power grid, not unlike what Thomas Edison championed nearly 150 years ago.

The battery as we know it today was an invention of Italian chemist and physicist Alessandro Volta. He witnessed electricity splitting water into its constituent elements of oxygen and hydrogen and ...

The world of electric vehicles can sometimes seem like it comes with its own vocabulary, and that's where we come in. Look out for our ABC of EVs series, to demystify the words and phrases you'll hear ...

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology offers several advantages compared to alternating current transmission systems. For example, it allows more efficient bulk power transfer over long ...

There are two main types of electrical current that flow through your home: Alternating and direct. The vast majority of devices around you are powered by alternating current. By allowing electrons to ...

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

Poor Topsy. Thomas Edison killed the ex-circus elephant, electrocuting the animal to demonstrate how dangerous alternating current was. Edison even described electrocution as being “Westinghoused,” ...

China is hungry for power. A fast expanding middle class is driving relentless demand for electricity. Annual electricity consumption is growing by around 8 per cent, according to the Chinese National ...
