Wave energy has long been seen as a promising source of clean electricity. The ocean is always moving, and that motion ...

Storing solar and wind energy to meet the increasing power needs of the electrical grid calls for devices that can deliver ...

Harvesting the sun’s energy has always been an exciting challenge. As technology races forward, scientists are finding new ways to both collect and store that energy more efficiently. A recent ...

A teen’s $12 ocean-current generator turned moving water into electricity and sparked new ideas for off-grid energy.

Each year, billions of single-use plastic bottles end up in landfills or oceans. That waste problem keeps growing. Now, a new scientific breakthrough suggests those same bottles could help power your ...

Nuclear fusion — and its potential for abundant, clean energy — has been around for years, and while breakthroughs have been made, up to this point, no one has been able to harness that energy and ...

If you take an object and set it out in the sun, it will begin to warm up. This is because it is absorbing energy from the sun's rays and converting that energy to heat. If you leave that object ...

This special series focuses on important community issues, innovative solutions to societal challenges, and people and non-profit groups making an impact through technology. by Lisa Stiffler on Nov 29 ...

Heartbeats could one day help power something beyond hearts. A pacemaker is a device that helps regulate abnormal heart rates using electrical pulses. Leadless pacemakers, which are placed in the ...

Plan is to deploy and test the tech at the European Marine Energy Center in Orkney, an archipelago located north of mainland Scotland, later this year. The Archimedes Waveswing weighs 50 metric tons, ...

An experimental leadless pacemaker is able to capture enough energy from the heart to partially power the device, according to results from a new proof-of-concept study. The prototype device harvested ...
