The team at Sapphire Technologies has developed equipment that generates zero-carbon electricity using natural gas pipeline pressure differentials. Sapphire CEO, Freddie Sarhan, is center-frame, sixth ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

YAWATAHAMA, Ehime – Shikoku Electric Power Co. and researchers from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology and other organizations have begun tests to prove the possibility of “microbial ...

UC Davis engineers have invented a Stirling engine that captures Earth’s escaping heat to generate power from the night sky.

However, according to the UAB team, ice can not only produce electricity, it can do so in two distinct ways. Those who managed to stay awake in science class may recall learning about piezoelectricity ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electric eels are one of those creatures you hear about as a kid and assume must be exaggerated, but they’re […] ...

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) ...
