When researchers set out to rebuild Thomas Edison’s 1879 light bulb, they expected a history lesson, not a materials science ...

A team of scientists has replicated one of Thomas Edison's early experiments from his quest to make the lightbulb, but with ...

A modern materials study suggests that Thomas Edison’s early light bulb experiments may have unknowingly produced graphene decades before the material was formally theorized or isolated. Thomas Edison ...

Rice University researchers recreated Edison's 1879 light bulb and found evidence it may have produced graphene by accident.

To reproduce what Thomas Edison did, with the tools and knowledge we have now, is very exciting,” said co-author James Tour, ...
