This system achieves peak outputs of 800 V and 2.5 A at 325 Hz without requiring any additional particles leveraging ...

YAWATAHAMA, Ehime – Shikoku Electric Power Co. and researchers from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and other organizations have begun tests to prove the possibility of “microbial ...

It's only fitting that the company generating electricity by loop-de-looping a ground-tethered winged drone is from North Carolina. After all, North Carolina is the birthplace of human flight. In 2023 ...

However, according to the UAB team, ice can not only produce electricity, it can do so in two distinct ways. Those who managed to stay awake in science class may recall learning about piezoelectricity ...

As energy use rises and the planet warms, you might have dreamed of an energy source that works 24/7, rain or shine, quietly powering homes, industries and even entire cities without the ups and downs ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...

Every day, vast quantities of rain fall across the planet. Until now, all that energy has simply gone to waste. But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural ...

Dear EarthTalk: You hear a lot about solar and wind energy, but what’s new in efforts to generate electricity from ocean waves? — Melanie Bernstein, New York, NY Wave power advocates cheered in ...

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is ...
