harvesting electricity

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…

Bo Zhao is an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at the Univerisity of Houston, and he may have just had the most significant breakthrough in solar energy. Finding more efficient ways to harvest solar energy is critical for…

Small magnetic fields from the electricity that lights our homes and powers our appliances are present all around us. Now, Penn State scientists have developed a new mechanism capable of harvesting this wasted magnetic field energy and…
