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 ...

Electric vehicles are an important wave of the future, offering motorists a cleaner and more efficient way to travel. But when it comes to charging their batteries, electric vehicles have a particular ...

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 ...

For years, the idea of direct current (DC) power distribution has tempted the data center industry. The appeal has always been clear: a simpler power flow and less equipment. Today, alternating ...

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.

Optical and scanning electron microscope images of a nano-LED device that uses AC power instead of DC power, which could be a game-changer for sharper near-eye displays. WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, 2025 — ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have used rapid alternating current (AC) to selectively reduce carbonyl groups (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06572). The technique avoids side reactions ...
