The system works by placing a cylindrical tube in a water current, which triggers a physical phenomenon known as vortex ...

Scientists have successfully generated electricity from water droplets with high efficiency using a method called plug flow, where water columns with air pockets create charge separation. The new ...

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.

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

Every day, vast quantities of rain fall across the planet. Until now, all that energy has simply gone to waste. But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The interactions between water and surfaces create small electrical charges – a phenomenon that could power the next generation of wearable technology. Small-scale devices that ...
