clean energy tech

No, I’m not talking about the Beach Boys (yes, I’m an old); I’m talking about harvesting energy from vibrations in our surroundings. Researchers have developed an energy-generating device of piezoelectric composites and carbon…

A "generic Air-gen effect" says that nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest cost-effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity. A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently…

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $12 million federal funding package for six research and development (R&D) projects advancing direct air capture (DAC) technology that extracts carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the…
