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

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 ...

A new study from researchers has created a new material that is repurposed to bring people energy and power, and it is via an odd item that most people would not think of, yarn. This invention is ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Medical devices that interface with the human body need power sources as safe as they are reliable. While sophisticated electronics can monitor health conditions and deliver ...

Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases should be achievable using bacteria. Microbiologists have demonstrated that it is possible to make methane-consuming bacteria ...

Solar power is a promising avenue for clean energy. Unfortunately, solar panels have one major weakness – they can't generate electricity in the dark. However, this weakness could soon change as ...

Researchers have revealed a new thermophotovoltaic (TPV) cell that converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency, performance nearly on par with traditional steam turbine power plants.

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, ...

Solar panels use sunlight to generate electricity, but they can do it around the clock, even when the sun isn't shining. Here's how. Solar energy is one of the most accessible and cleanest forms of ...

Associate Professor, Energy Systems and Data Group, Birmingham Energy Institute, University of Birmingham Grant Wilson receives funding from EPSRC and InnovateUK under a range of different projects.

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 ...
