A century after Nikola Tesla sketched a turbine with no blades, researchers are now using that same counterintuitive design ...

Researchers have introduced a contactless electricity generation method using only practical compressed air and ...

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology are trying to harness the electricity-generating phenomenon (also called the triboelectric effect) displayed when someone walks across a carpet, touches ...

With an ability to turn friction into small amounts of electricity, triboelectric generators may one day be used in clothes that turn movement into power, in battery-free brain implants, and a host of ...
