Scientists have proposed a novel method to use a PV-powered system to desalinate water and produce H2 for desert agriculture. Proposed by Qatar's Hamad Bin Khalifa University, the system integrates ...

A new study has found an interesting and, perhaps, important property of ice. It appears to generate electricity when it is bent. Water ice is abundant on Earth, being one of the most widespread ...

Developers are using a new geothermal technology in Germany to produce clean energy. Detail of the teeth of a drill bit that ...

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — As the Valley grows, so does the need for more electricity. Maricopa County is expected to grow by another 1.5 million people by 2040. That’s a huge number that only includes a ...

Water flowing through a thin, polymer-coated tube in short bursts, or plugs, as demonstrated in these illustrations and images, can produce electricity. When two materials come into contact, charged ...

A nanodevice developed at EPFL produces an autonomous, stable current from evaporating saltwater by using heat and light to control the movement of ions and electrons. Previously, researchers in the ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some ...
