Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

Imagine you could generate electricity from your hands. You'd be able to power anything you want, with a single touch. What ...

Turning red-hot lava from an active volcano into electricity would be dangerous and unreliable. Volcanoes don’t erupt on predictable schedules, and lava cools too quickly. But many countries, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
