In this video, Thanh shares his experience living off-grid in a remote rural area of the mountainous northern province of Vietnam. He demonstrates how to generate free electricity using water, build a ...

In a controversial experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth’s rotational energy to generate electricity. It’s a deceptively simple idea that researchers have ...

Harnessing a principle known as triboelectrification, researchers have worked out the optimal way to generate an electrical charge in a relatively simple way. The breakthrough could provide a ...

In brief: A team of physicists believe it may be possible to harvest electricity using Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field, and they've published a paper involving a test that appears to ...

Sure, we all complain about the humidity on a sweltering summer day. But it turns out that same humidity could be a source of clean, pollution-free energy, according to a new study. "Air humidity is a ...

A new battery system removes toxic metals from wastewater and generates electricity in the process, offering a low-cost, power-positive alternative to conventional treatment. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

We all like getting something for nothing. If you're going to put a tonneau cover on your truck, it might as well have some built-in solar panels to generate free electricity. That's exactly what the ...

Powerful electronics don't have to come at an environmental cost. Scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed high-performance, lead-free piezoelectric thin films directly on standard ...
