Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...

On a humid morning in Fukuoka, a coastal city in southern Japan, a new kind of power came online. Japan has launched Asia’s first osmotic power plant, which generates electricity by mixing fresh water ...

Can ice generate electricity? It’s not as far-fetched as you may think. Learn about the new research that “brings the vision ...

Experiments reveal that when slabs of salty ice are strained, electricity is generated, though practical uses are still a long way off.

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 ...

A new battery system removes toxic metals from wastewater and generates electricity in the process, offering a low-cost, power-positive alternative to conventional treatment. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Now, a team of researchers from UNIST in South Korea has created a solar-powered device that can produce fresh water directly ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough salt, that electrical charge becomes exponentially greater. Not only is all ...
