Cathode and Anode: These terms are widely used in electrolysis and electrochemical systems. Understanding them is important, as their charges vary based on the system and reaction they are involved in ...

I was a bit of a lost soul after high school. I dabbled with electrical engineering for a semester but decided that it wasn’t for me – what I wouldn’t give for a do-over on that one. In my search for ...

If you grew up with a CRT TV, you probably remember the static charge of its screen; that's still there, but you probably can ...

The surface area is a critical property for battery components including anodes, cathodes, and even separator materials. Surface area differences affect performance characteristics such as capacity, ...

Professor John Trowbridge delivered a lecture last night in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory, under the auspices of the Engineering Society, on "Cathode Rays." The large lecture room was filled to ...

X-ray Diffraction (XRD) plays a pivotal role in material characterization during the production of lithium-ion battery electrodes. For anodes, it helps analyze the degree of graphitization in graphite ...

As electric vehicles (EVs) and smartphones increasingly demand rapid charging, concerns over shortened battery lifespan have ...

Professor Trowbridge's experiments with the cathode rays at the Jefferson Physical Laboratory have shown that the quality of glass constituting the Crookes tubes has very little to do with the ...
