In Advanced Functional Materials, the study shows that single plant leaves can generate more than 150 volts; a ‘hybrid tree’ made of natural and artificial leaves can act as an i... Read more
Cheaper renewable electricity with a new material and manufacturing process that uses the sun’s heat
Solar power accounts for less than 2 percent of U.S. electricity but could make up more than that if the cost of electricity generation and energy storage for use on cloudy days and at night... Read more
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a super-hydrophobic surface that can be used to generate electrical voltage. When salt water flows over this specially patt... Read more
A new model developed by Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) shows how an electricity system mainly based on solar and wind works in all regions of the world. It shows the functionin... Read more
MIT study investigates power generation from the meeting of river water and seawater. Where the river meets the sea, there is the potential to harness a significant amount of renewable energ... Read more
