Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

Discover how to create a compact vertical-axis wind turbine with everyday materials in this detailed step-by-step guide. Watch as we build composite turbine blades, assemble a helical rotor, and ...

Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds using nothing more than a small vertical tube and some carefully ...

Solar panels and wind turbines give the world bountiful energy — but come with a conundrum. When it’s sunny and windy out, in many places these renewables produce more electricity than is actually ...

Researchers at Stony Brook University may have captured lightning in a bottle — or at least explained one of the theories of how it is created. Working with researchers in Spain and China, Stony Brook ...

Scientists in Canada have invented an electricity-generating slime that could revolutionize medicine, robotics, and even how we power our steps. Reading time 2 minutes Slime isn’t just for kids’ TV ...

Schematic of an active cell membrane. In a typical active biological process, active proteins (shown in a variety of colors) in a cell membrane (shown in blue) interact with various biological ...
