Electrical Safety Tips
With great power comes great responsibility. No, no, I’m not talking about Mr. Peter Parker. I’m talking about electricity, one of the most convenient and useful items in homes today. In fact, I bet you’re using electricity right now! Whether you’re charging your laptop, watching TV, or just using a lamp, you’re making use of the wondrous wonder that is electricity. But with electricity’s power comes a great potential for harm. If you don’t use electricity properly, you’re liable to end up shocked, aflame, or worse.
4 Ways To Save Electricity
For many people, electricity is still quite mysterious and the concept of saving electricity is quite abstract. For example, we all know that we should turn lights off when we leave a room to save electricity but this is at odd with how we feel. Having a bright room makes us feel safer, warmer and happier, even if we are wasting electricity. Even if you don’t know your amps from your volts, here are four tips that will help you save electricity effortlessly.
The first electrical engineer
Who was the first electrical engineer? Thomas Edison, James Clerk Maxwell, William Gilbert? None of the above.
Nanotubes serve as light emitter in Integrated Photonic Circuit
Using fiber optic cables as waveguides for transmitting light that is ultimately converted into voice calls or data has been a mainstay for the telecommunications industry for decades.

What is a breadboard ?
A breadboard is a solderless device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be interconnected by inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate. The breadboard has strips of metal underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board.
This bizarre electron behavior may lead to new electronic technologies
Researchers at Princeton University have observed a bizarre behavior in a strange new crystal that could hold the key for future electronic technologies. Unlike most materials in which electrons travel on the surface, in these new materials the electrons sink into the depths of the crystal through special conductive channels.
