In a groundbreaking development, scientists have harnessed the power of water and pressure within nanoporous silicon to ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

Tiny drops of water might not seem like powerhouse energy producers, but a new method shows how simple tubes might be able to turn falling rain into an energy source. In tests, the method was able to ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some ...

In this video we will show how Japan will generate electricity from snow The era of solar energy began in 1950 when Bell Labs ...

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

When a solid and a liquid come into contact, charged entities on both sides push one another apart. This phenomenon is known as charge separation, and it creates an electric double layer—a layer each ...
