Researchers found that cycling water in nanopores of water-repellent silicon can convert mechanical energy into measurable electricity. (Nanowerk News) A European research team involving scientists ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have uncovered a new mechanism of sliding friction: resistance to motion that ...

Scientists have found a way to significantly boost “blue energy,” which generates electricity from the mixing of saltwater and freshwater. By coating nanopores with lipid molecules that create a ...

Many people are familiar with the experience: grabbing their favorite blanket and gotting shocked. Static electricity may not be too dangerous, but it is uncomfortable and annoying. So, why is there ...
