Electricity-conducting cable bacteria form a group of multicellular prokaryotes that enable electron transfer over centimeter-scale distances within marine...
Scientists at the University of Bergen have uncovered a remarkable diversity of behaviors within the rosette-shaped colonies of Salpingoeca rosetta, a...
Coffee grinding produces large quantities of static charge due to both fracturing and rubbing. Charge causes particle aggregation and discharge, a familiar...
Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a new smart material with a dual-response feature, that is, shape-memory and color-changing. The...
Frictional electrification is a common process in the Solar System, with Martian dust activities known to be a powerful source of electrical charge buildup....
The new technology, developed by researchers at the University of Central Florida, can reduce the electronic industry’s reliance on batteries and broaden...
Harvesting an electrical current from biological photosynthetic systems, such as live cells, is typically achieved by immersion of the system into an electrolyte...
The Earth’s atmosphere is always electrified to a greater or lesser extent, even in fair weather away from thunderstorms. By measuring the electrical...
The newly-developed heat engine is a thermophotovoltaic cell that captures high-energy photons from a white-hot heat source and converts them into electricity...
A team of scientists at the Ohio State University has found that steady electrical stimulation generates increased permeability across blood vessels, an...
A team of scientists from Cornell University and the University of Pennsylvania has developed a new class of microscopic robots that incorporate semiconductor...
A thin-film device made from nanometer-scale protein wires harvested from the microbe Geobacter sulfurreducens can generate continuous electric power in...
A team of physicists led by the University of British Columbia has demonstrated a novel way to precisely control electrical currents by leveraging the...
A research team led by University of Konstanz scientists has demonstrated that light waves can be used to transport electrons at sub-femtosecond speeds...
