One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a technology that generates electricity from raindrops striking rooftops ...

The carbon fiber composite avoids this problem and maintains stable performance even under repeated exposure to water and ...

Scientists have engineered an advanced energy management unit (EMU) that notably enhances the efficacy of electrostatic generators intended for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This advancement ...

We tend to think of electricity as part of the modern world. However, Thales of Mietus recorded information about static electricity around 585 BC. This Greek philosopher found that rubbing amber with ...

Although the basic concept of electrostatic attraction has been known since ancient times, it was only in the 17th century that scientists began to systematically investigate electrostatics. One of ...
