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

A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into ...

One key to harvesting the ocean’s clean energy—at least a little of it—may lie in static electricity. A team of researchers in Portugal has now successfully used it to run small generators inside a ...

This system achieves peak outputs of 800 V and 2.5 A at 325 Hz without requiring any additional particles leveraging ...

We tend to think of electricity as part of the modern world. However, Thales of Mietus recorded information about static electricity around 585 BC. This Greek philosopher found that rubbing amber with ...

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 ...
