Flexoelectricity, which can transform mechanical deformation into electrical signals, could provide enough power to fire ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

Forecasting electricity demand in buildings is now more accurate with Group Encoding (GE), a new method that uses only existing device operation data. Developed by researchers at the Institute of ...

While it's early in the research process, this discovery could be a significant breakthrough in clean energy. The next step ...

There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

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 ...

Last month, PET ran an article entitled “Generating Electricity is a Snap.” It covered a collaborative research project led by the University at Buffalo and the Institute of Semiconductors (IoP) at ...

Starline's director of commercial and industrial sales, Adrian Sanchez, explains how outdated power systems can quietly ...

The necessary technical advances are likely 15 to 20 years away, but research yields quick dividends.
