It produces an alpha particle (or Helium-4 nucleus) and a neutron, and releases 17.6 megaelectron volt (MeV) of energy in the form of kinetic energy of the products (3.5 MeV to alpha particle and 14.1 ...

“Why can’t we use that energy to recharge our phones?” they reasoned. Tapping Geier’s expertise in circuitry, the team picked apart other devices — often cumbersome and bulky — that allow for the ...

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 ...
