The latest idea is based on osmosis, a natural process in which water will move from a place with lower concentration of, for ...

Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds using nothing more than a small vertical tube and some carefully ...

The device proved durable when tested under various conditions. Scientists develop revolutionary device that generates ...

Raindrops may seem harmless as they slide down windows or trickle through gutters. But inside each drop lies a powerful secret. When water flows through certain surfaces, it creates electrical charges ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Inspired by the classic drinking bird toy, scientists have developed an engine that efficiently converts energy from water evaporation into electricity to power small electronics. The device produces ...

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.

Engineers from MIT have created a unique polymer film that can generate electricity from water vapor. Thin, polymer film can generate electricity from just a small amount of water vapor. The material ...
