While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when ...

A stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste.

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 ...

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 ...

Every day, vast quantities of rain fall across the planet. Until now, all that energy has simply gone to waste. But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural ...

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The demand for energy is ever-increasing across various industries. In recent decades, scientists have explored the electrostatic potential of ...

Glistening on the water, soaking into skin and sand, sunshine is part of Australia’s identity. And in Sydney, solar scientists are trying to harness the power of the sun to produce energy — but not in ...

We walk here, we walk there, we walk everywhere. Maybe you’re headed to work or to lunch in a busy city. You’re expending energy, and the exercise is good for you. But what if, on top of that, we ...

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) ...
