For electricity to flow, everything needs to be connected in a big ring. It’s called a circuit. For example, the lights in most houses and flats are part of a circuit controlled by the consumer unit, ...

Among the abundance of components making up electronic circuits, very few are as important as capacitors. These components, ...

The human vision-processing system is built of numerous complex neural layers that communicate with one another by means of feedforward and feedback neural connections. Via these connections, each ...

Electronic circuits are integral parts of nearly all the technological advances being made in our lives today. Television, radio, phones and computers immediately come to mind, but electronics are ...

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.

Use this fun, interactive activity to talk about how conductive materials allow electricity to flow freely, while insulating materials make it slow down or stop. This experiment was developed by ...
