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.

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 ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Water flowing through a thin, polymer-coated tube in short bursts, or plugs, as demonstrated in these illustrations and images, can produce electricity. When two materials come into contact, charged ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds ...

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 ...

What if the rain falling outside your window could do more than water your garden or fill storm drains? Imagine a world where every drop of rain generates electricity, enough to power homes, cities, ...

Have you ever thought it was possible to generate electricity from plants? Well, in Spain, scientists experimented on moss and discovered that it can indeed generate electrical power. In this article, ...

With record-breaking heatwaves, wildfires and floods, Spain is experiencing the impacts of climate change first-hand — underscoring the urgent need for a transition to cleaner, more-sustainable energy ...
