Did you know that most electric power plants, including wind mills, hydro dams and nuclear stations produce electricity the ...

Water drops produce electricity when dripped through a small tube. That power might be harnessed as renewable energy in rainy places.

There are many different kinds of renewable sources and they generate electricity in different ways. Some renewables - such as wind, waves, and solar - are not always available. Wind farms cannot ...

Water falls on Earth every day as rain, and now scientists seem to have found a way of using it to create renewable electricity ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s ...

A team has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating electricity, using a natural process that pushes electrons into their surroundings instead of breathing on oxygen. The findings could ...

For example, many ways that we generate electricity use heat from burning or nuclear decay to generate steam which turns a generator. Thermocouples generate electricity directly from heat ...

A team led by Rice University bioscientist Caroline Ajo-Franklin has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating ...

But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural resource and generate electricity from the falling rain. In a recent experiment, researchers at the National ...

and scientists were creating the first machines designed to intentionally store or generate static electricity. These devices helped shape our understanding of electricity and paved the way for ...
