Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

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 developed a theoretical framework that shows how living cell membranes can generate electricity from ...

Though research on moisture-electric generators, which create energy from ambient humidity, exists, the tech isn't ready for ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...
