Energy, or the potential for creating it, is all around us. It is being tapped at an incredible rate from sources that are naturally replenished, such as sunlight and wind. But there is one other ...

Recent advances in quantum mechanics have spurred novel methodologies that revisit classical kinetic energy concepts through nonlocal-in-time formalisms. By extending traditional frameworks with ...

Earlier this year we highlighted Idaho startup M2E Power’s push to develop motion-powered electronics for the military. Now M2E is emphasizing the commercial applications for their technology, with a ...

Energy plays a tremendous role, not only in our technology-rich daily lives, but in fundamental physics as well. The chemical energy stored in gasoline gets converted into kinetic energy that propels ...

How does a yo-yo work? asks a reader.Can you Hop the Fence, Milk the Cow, Ride the Horse, and then Walk the Dog -- without ever setting foot on a farm? If so, you're probably familiar with yo-yo ...

Wouldn’t it be nice to charge the products you can’t live without in a way that would leave you unchained from the wall socket? A kinetic energy charger may be just the thing you are looking for.

Pretend, for a moment, that heat is visible, that our naked eyes can see the infrared rays shedding from objects all around. At closest range, we observe the incessant buzzing of molecules—vibrating ...
