Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is ...
A research team in China has created perhaps the most versatile energy-generating hydrovoltaic cell yet. Due to its novel construction in a hermetically sealed container, it can generate electricity ...
As solar power makes electricity cheaper, that conundrum should ease somewhat. But it will not disappear. African utilities rarely cover their costs. In Kenya, a typical case, some 25% of juice is ...
The RPI team developed a polymer film infused with a special chalcogenide perovskite compound that produces electricity when squeezed or stressed. The device could be used in consumer goods, such as a ...
Electric eels are one of those creatures you hear about as a kid and assume must be exaggerated, but they’re […] ...
Carbon-free electricity has never been more plentiful. Wind and solar power have taken off over the past two decades, faster than experts ever expected. But it hasn’t yet been enough to halt the rise ...
The equivalent of 1.8 million homes were powered by wind electricity generated in central Iowa on March 7. Climate Central’s WeatherPower tool can forecast daily wind or solar electricity generation ...
Researchers have developed a new moisture-driven electricity generation device made of a thin layer of fabric, sea salt, carbon ink, and a special water-absorbing gel. The device works by keeping one ...
A group of researchers from Binghamton University in New York has created quite the artificial plant. This new plant is not only capable of cleaning the air, but it can also generate electricity. The ...
Renewable power generated 692TWh of electricity, 50.39% of Europe’s total electricity supply, and close to double the 359TWh of electricity generated by fossil fuels. Image: European Energy. European ...
LITTLETON, Colorado, March 11 (Reuters) - India's coal-fired electricity generation scaled a new high in January 2024 as the world's second largest coal user after China cranked coal's share of the ...
Germany generated 72.2 TWh of solar power in 2024, accounting for 14% of its total electricity output, according to Fraunhofer ISE. Wind power remained Germany's largest source of electricity in 2024, ...
