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 ...

Raindrops may seem harmless as they slide down windows or trickle through gutters. But inside each drop lies a powerful secret. When water flows through certain surfaces, it creates electrical charges ...

The materials were pulled from the lab shelf because they combine to form a thin and stable layer with microscopic channels.

Electricity is chaotic, and we normally need to constrain it to wires and circuits to make use of it. Scientists in Europe and Canada have now managed to guide sparks through thin air and even around ...

Reengineered metasequoia wood generates electricity from water flow while cooling buildings through evaporation, offering a dual-function material tested successfully in real-world cabin trials.

Air is invisible, but its movement shapes everything around us. Using light refraction, heat, and fluid dynamics, scientists ...
