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 ...

When a solid and a liquid come into contact, charged entities on both sides push one another apart. This phenomenon is known as charge separation, and it creates an electric double layer—a layer each ...

Rain could one day become a source of clean electricity, according to a group of scientists in Singapore. Their experiments have been able to generate power from water droplets falling through a tube.

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The interactions between water and surfaces create small electrical charges – a phenomenon that could power the next generation of wearable technology. Small-scale devices that ...

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 showcased that cotton can work as a power source and harvest electricity from humidity. Scientists have now ...

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 ...

Context matters for enterprises, especially if it changes dramatically, and this is what is happening in Nepal’s hydropower sector. It is primarily about economics. The price of electricity generated ...

Nyeri, Kenya: A sanitation company and a university in Nyeri are to generate electricity from water and human waste. The project, estimated to cost Sh 100 million is a venture between Nyeri Water and ...
