Powering wearable devices with high-performing carbon nanotube yarns
Researchers at Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in Japan have developed a novel, eco-friendly method to create flexible wearable thermoelectric generators from carbon nanotubes.
Nanodevices can produce energy from evaporating tap or seawater
Researchers have developed hydrovoltaic devices that harness electricity from evaporation, potentially revolutionising energy generation and water purification across various salinities.
Artificial ‘power plants’ harness energy from wind and rain
From American Chemical Society 20/01/24 Fake plants are moving into the 21st century! Researchers developed literal “power plants” — tiny, leaf-shaped generators that create electricity from a blowing breeze or falling raindrops — and described them in ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. The team tested the energy harvesters by incorporating them into artificial plants. Electrical […]
