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

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, ...

Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s own skin cells, electricity-generating bacteria, using physics to cook ...

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 ...

The team at Sapphire Technologies has developed equipment that generates zero-carbon electricity using natural gas pipeline pressure differentials. Sapphire CEO, Freddie Sarhan, is center-frame, sixth ...

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 ...

A study co-led by ICN2 reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major ...

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 ...

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 ...

Semitransparent solar cells with natural looking color and strong heat blocking offer a realistic way for windows to generate electricity and cut energy use in large buildings. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...
