The electrostatic potential of particular matter is a promising resource for energy harvesting. In a recent breakthrough, a team of researchers from Chung-Ang University has developed a ...

Fungi could be used to power batteries in remote regions thanks to a new breakthrough by Swiss researchers. Their fungal battery invention is 3D-printed - with fungal cells mixed into the printing ink ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

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 ...

Their method uses the principle that when two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge, like how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity.

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 ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough salt, that electrical charge becomes exponentially greater. Not only is all ...
