Often associated with refreshing a sense of being renewed and a peaceful calmness, raindrops may soon become tiny engines of ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

In a groundbreaking development, scientists have harnessed the power of water and pressure within nanoporous silicon to ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some ...

Tiny drops of water might not seem like powerhouse energy producers, but a new method shows how simple tubes might be able to turn falling rain into an energy source. In tests, the method was able to ...

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 ...

Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

Discover the fascinating world of renewable energy with our detailed guide on how to make a free energy water wheel. This ...

Salt River Project is developing a solar and hydropower project east of Mesa that could power up to 450,000 homes. The project will use a pumped storage hydropower system, releasing water from an ...

As the tech industry has grown, so too have data centers. Data centers are enormous buildings filled with hundreds of thousands of computers that store cloud data and power artificial intelligence. To ...
