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 ...

Single-contact LEDs driven with alternating current mean brighter, sharper smart glasses. (Nanowerk News) LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, are essential components in near-eye displays like virtual ...

HIGH-FIELD superconductors can carry large currents distributed over their whole cross-section. These body currents are lossless when steady, exactly as are the surface currents of soft ...

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 ...

A new treatment for chronic insomnia, transcranial alternating current stimulation, has been found to be effective in a study published in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics. Not all adults with chronic ...

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 ...

Direct current required thousands of little power plants at every mile, while alternating current allowed one source to power a much larger area. Alternating current transformed daily life in the 20th ...

In the future, Europe is to be dominantly powered by renewable energy. The expansion of wind and solar power capacity and the provision of sufficient power in winter are just two of the challenges ...
