Fires are getting bigger and more homes are burning each year. Firefighters are having to change tactics when it comes to the most destructive fires, but why? Jennifer Blach, Ph.D., just released a new study in the journal, Science, and...

Pupil outcome: I can derive and use the theorem: the tangent at any point on a circle is perpendicular to the radius at that point. Key learning points: - A theorem is a statement that can be demonstrated to be true by accepted...

Pupil outcome: I can reason mathematically using my knowledge of angle facts. Key learning points: - Alternate, corresponding and co-interior angles can be identified in diagrams containing pairs of parallel lines. - Facts about angles...

Loudoun County, Virginia has become the center of the internet, with a huge number of data centers storing and powering everything from websites to AI tools. These facilities bring in massive tax revenue but also raise concerns about...

With climate change making temperatures more extreme each year, like we recently saw in the great Texas freeze and the Northwest heatwave, large-scale power outages become a matter of life and death. Could a power grid failure during an...

This video explores how electrical energy travels from a power plant to your home. It explains the role of electric and magnetic fields in energy transfer and debunks common misconceptions about electron movement. Through the concept of...

The buzzing sound that power lines produce is caused by corona discharge. Corona discharge is an electrical discharge that occurs when a fluid (like air) surrounding an electrically-charged conductor becomes ionized. In simple terms, its...

Great lengths are taken by energy companies to keep our electricity supply on. To spot any potential power cuts, they use sophisticated equipment, and take to the skies. Physics - Electricity And Circuits - Learning Points. Networks of...
