A novel hydrovoltaic cell developed by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) can continuously generate electricity using little water and no sunlight. This feature could help deploy the ...

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, ...

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to [email protected]. Could we use volcanoes to make electricity? – ...

People may no longer need sunshine to harvest solar power. Researchers from University of New South Wales (UNSW) have found a ...

Delft-based startup HyER Power is developing a hydrogen-powered system to generate heat and electricity. The HyER Power Plant, set for installation at Innovation Hub KAAP in Vlissingen, is expected to ...

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) ...

The system allows the vessel to produce up to 300 kW of electricity by turning low-temperature waste heat from the main engine into usable power.

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...

PNW scientists have made a flexible “fabric” that converts body heat into electricity. Heat is energy, and most of the heat we produce — from our bodies, kitchens and cars — just dissipates into the ...
