When you compare it to coal, nuclear power has a reputation for being squeaky clean, but there's more to the story than you ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at RMIT University have discovered a way to create electricity from Styrofoam. Traditionally considered a major pollutant, Styrofoam is also apparently a surprising source of renewable ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
