On a humid morning in Fukuoka, a coastal city in southern Japan, a new kind of power came online. Japan has launched Asia’s ...

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

Yet, new research suggests that bending ice and adding salt to it could transform this winter nuisance into a potential source of sustainable power. Xin Wen and his team at Xi’an Jiatong University in ...

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 ...

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

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) ...
