Researchers develop new thermoelectric device that uses nighttime temperature to generate electricity
A recent study has developed a novel device that harnesses temperature differences at night to generate electricity. Researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles and Stanford University teamed up to make an electricity generator that works during the cold, dark night. They came up with a thermoelectric device that was able to power an LED, operating without […]

Cocklebur seed oil may become an alternative biodiesel source
Biofuel is seen as a promising alternative to fossil fuels, and researchers continue to search for more plant-based biofuel sources. A study published in the Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry suggested cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.) seed oil as a promising alternative biodiesel source. Researchers from Bozok University in Turkey looked at the potential of cocklebur […]

After lithium-ion batteries, the next step is… sodium-ion batteries?
The world’s running on batteries – lithium-ion batteries, to be precise. Over the past 20 years, global production for lithium has tripled, with lithium-ion batteries found in many of today’s technological devices – from smartphones to pacemakers, and even cars. Despite their long list of real-world applications, lithium-ion batteries are still limited in what they can […]

“Eco-friendly” scooters revealed to be largely a fraud: They’re far dirtier for the environment than their advocates could have imagined
Electric scooters are everywhere these days, and lots of city dwellers proudly take part in electric scooter sharing schemes like those offered by Bird, Lyft, and Bolt. This method of transportation certainly sounds eco-friendly on the surface. When you compare it to a car, the advantages are clear: It doesn’t emit greenhouse gases and it […]

Can we find a cleaner way to extract hydrogen from water?
Splitting water to create renewable hydrogen energy looks good on paper – until you realize that making it requires a lot of the “dirty energy” it’s trying to replace, like fossil fuel. In a study published in the American Chemical Society’s ACS Catalysis, researchers from the University of Delaware and Columbia University established a process that can produce greener hydrogen from water. […]

Can magnesium batteries revolutionize battery technology?
Researchers from all across Europe are pooling their efforts into the development of new types of magnesium batteries. They hope that the budding energy storage system can offer an alternative to lithium-ion batteries that is cheaper, more effective, and safer in terms of manufacture and usage. In the E-MAGIC research project, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is working […]

Japanese researchers develop a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that runs on ambient energy
Even as internet of things devices grow ever smaller, they continue to require more power. But most of these smart devices are too small to fit batteries and power cords might restrict them. This led Japanese researchers to refine an existing tool which could collect electromechanical energy from its surroundings. Their new energy harvester is called a micro-electronic mechanical system (MEMS). […]

Rocks could be the next best thing in energy storage
Beneath the waters off the coasts of certain countries lie layers of rocks that can allow the passage of air and water through them. Scottish researchers suggested that the porous rock formations off the North Sea coastline of the U.K. could serve as storage areas for renewable energy over long periods of time. Based on the […]

Researchers develop unique 3D-printed cube that harvests ambient energy from cell phones and modems
Saudi researchers recently presented a cube-shaped device that could gather ambient energy from active electronic devices. The new energy harvester could be manufactured using a 3D printer, making it cheap and easy to produce in large numbers. The cube offered a way to provide power to the increasing number of smart devices that were often linked together to form an Internet […]

Can these truck-sized nuclear reactors power U.S. military basecamps in remote locations?
The United States military could very soon be getting a major field upgrade, as military heads are in the process of test-running a new type of nuclear mini-reactor that they say will have the capacity to power troops in otherwise hard-to-reach places of the world, such as hillside camps located in remote areas of Afghanistan.
