A stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste.

The Netherlands has increasingly relied on offshore wind to provide electricity while also taking steps to mitigate the ...

Researchers at McGill University in Canada have optimized a process that converts human urine ...

Electricity is indispensable in modern society. Today, man could hardly live without this energy. Suppose, for example, electrical power plant is off for a mont ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...

However, according to the UAB team, ice can not only produce electricity, it can do so in two distinct ways. Those who managed to stay awake in science class may recall learning about piezoelectricity ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s own skin cells, electricity-generating bacteria, using physics to cook ...

Load shifting and improving energy efficiency could reduce the need for new power plants, but utilities often profit more from building than saving power.
