A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a technology that generates electricity from raindrops striking rooftops ...

The plastic gizmo in Zhong Lin Wang’s hand doesn’t look like tomorrow’s solution to our looming energy crisis. It’s about the size and shape of a small grapefruit, but smooth and translucent. As he ...

The device, called the Superhydrophobic Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Droplet-Based Electricity Generator, or S-FRP-DEG, harvests ...

Okay, not actually a cyclotron… but this ball cyclotron is a good model for what a cyclotron does and the concepts behind it feel kooky and magical. A pair of Ping Pong balls scream around a glass ...

A Van de Graaff generator removes electrons to produce a positive charge. A person does not have to touch the Van de Graaff generator to start feeling the effects, as static electricity is a ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...
