A research team has developed and tested an energy-harvesting transducer and sensor that uses triboelectric current developed by snow falling on their unique layered material....
Applying the physics principle of radiative sky cooling, a team was able to harvest a small but useful amount of energy from the cool night sky using a simple, low-cost, non-critical...
This lithium battery, developed by Carnegie Mellon researchers, uses a semi-liquid, metal-based lithium anode that prevents hazardous dendrite formation found on anodes using ...
By using a plasma created by high voltage moving across a wing’s surface, researchers devised and tested a technique for deicing aircraft wings that doesn’t rely on diverted engine...
When infused with a suitable electrolyte, chemically processed wood can function as an energy-harvesting transducer using low-grade (low temperature) heat as the energy source...
Increasing complexity in power grids and the adoption of smart grids will require enhancements in energy-storage systems, from molten-salt and flywheel to battery-based options...
