Kids love building electric circuits, but connecting light bulbs to batteries with fiddly wires is tricky for young hands. Play dough and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) solve the problem beautifully.

The Squishy Circuits team developed this activity so that young children (including my own daughters) would have a playful way to explore circuits. Squishy Circuits use two different types of dough as ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, taking the form of conductive plates separated by an insulating material ...

The savings from multiwire branch circuits can come at a high cost. It's true that multiwire branch circuits reduce raceway size, voltage drop, and the number of conductors. However, mishandling or ...

But, it turns out, a thermometer has been part of photonic chips all along.

Electrical system designers have at their disposal several types of fire resistive systems that comply with specific Code requirements. It can be helpful to ...

If planned properly, many components that will be a part of the permanent and final installation could be a part of the overall temporary power for the project. Why is it that some electricians think ...

Cyrus F. Hirjibehedin is in the Quantum Information and Integrated Nanosystems group, Lincoln Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421, USA. Although computers ...

To make something work using electricity there needs to be an electrical circuit; a circuit is a complete loop that electricity can move around. Electricity moves from the power source (the battery or ...
