Energy harvesting has made great strides over the past few years. Companies have begin harvesting kinetic energy from people dancing on surfaces, and researchers are [...]
Portland, Oregon is known for being the home of water-generated power, but while you may think of large dams, we are actually talking about pipe-based water power. A while [...]
Any device that sends out a Wi-Fi signal also emits terahertz waves —electromagnetic waves with a frequency somewhere between microwaves and infrared light. These [...]
It’s been a longtime goal of engineers to harvest the energy created by the human body. Researchers at the University of Maryland have created a heat-to-electricity [...]
Pretty soon you could be harvesting energy from your shoe soles to your gloves, or the mat under your carpet. A team from Virginia Tech is able to 3D print piezoelectric [...]
In the same way that the technology industry is looking at energy harvesting through advanced textiles for people, a research team in Sweden is believes it can store energy [...]
Thermoelectric generators that convert waste heat into energy have been highly dependable for decades, powering space probes such as the Voyager spacecraft. However, their [...]
Chalk this one up to the accelerated growth of efficient solar technology. In Australia, a railroad company has restored a derelict heritage train to run completely on [...]
While we all understand the functionality of paved expanses for transport and parking, hot pavements create huge amounts of heat, that can significantly alter urban and [...]
If you’re seeking to engage the general population in thinking about renewable energy, you may have an uphill battle. However, one company has figured out a way not only to [...]
