A new theory invokes the common rubber band in an attempt to explain dark energy, a mysterious force causing the universe to expand at an ever-increasing pace. Scientists discovered in the late 1990s ...

How much energy can you store in a rubber band? Obviously, the answer depends on the size of the rubber band. I'm talking about, of course, the energy density or specific energy of an energy storage ...

Students stretch pre-cut rubber bands to their lips, stretch the rubber bands, and then allow them to contract. The rubber bands grow warmer as they expand and cool as they contract. To Conduct ...

If you roll an elastic band down a slope, you might be amazed at the range of shapes it takes as it gathers speed. While this may sound like a pointless pastime, three students in the US have devised ...
