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

Researchers have introduced a contactless electricity generation method using only practical compressed air and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Wind and solar can only generate intermittent electricity, while oil is the basis for all the products in society. Two of the greatest inventions of all time are the incandescent light bulb and the ...

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 ...

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, ...

Researchers may have devised a revolutionary new way to replace solar panels altogether. Instead, we could one day see rooftops adorned with rain panels that can capture energy from falling raindrops.

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 ...

Sure, we all complain about the humidity on a sweltering summer day. But it turns out that same humidity could be a source of clean, pollution-free energy, a new study shows. "Air humidity is a vast, ...

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 ...
