New measurements in germanium reveal how excited electrons drive lattice vibrations that govern energy flow and heating in semiconductors.

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 turbostratic graphene.

An international team including Cornell researcher Jake Turner has developed a novel analysis method capable of uncovering previously undetectable ...

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

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