Do you know the difference between potential and kinetic energy? I certainly don’t, which is why Dr. T, a Science Educator from the Springfield Museums, is with us ...

The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is changing every aspect of our lives—from culture to business, science to design. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ...

"The findings have potential implications for future ... devices." Researchers make remarkable breakthrough on next-gen ...

Any object lifted above the ground has gravitational potential energy (\(E_{p}\) or GPE). The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has on Earth depends on its: mass; height above the ...

When work is done energy is transferred to the object and it gains gravitational potential energy. If the object falls from that height, the same amount of work would have to be done by the force ...

Ocean waves have long been seen as having huge potential as a source of renewable energy. Waves produce an estimated 50 trillion to 80 trillion watts of power worldwide—nearly two to three times the ...
