Flow Chemistry is changing how chemical synthesis is undertaken in both research labs and large-scale manufacturing. The transition from older batch processing methods to continuous flow methods, such ...

What if the rain falling outside your window could do more than water your garden or fill storm drains? Imagine a world where every drop of rain generates electricity, enough to power homes, cities, ...

Shares of Plug Power Inc. are nearing the end of a winning streak on Tuesday, but not before nearly doubling during that run, as Wall Street is broadly optimistic about the alternative-energy ...

Scientists have successfully generated electricity from water droplets with high efficiency using a method called plug flow, where water columns with air pockets create charge separation. The new ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

Raindrops may seem harmless as they slide down windows or trickle through gutters. But inside each drop lies a powerful secret. When water flows through certain surfaces, it creates electrical charges ...

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. This is how rubbing a balloon on the skin creates static electricity. Likewise, water flowing over some ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers from Singapore have developed a clever way to turn raindrops into electricity - enough to power 12 LEDs for 20 seconds ...

Tiny drops of water might not seem like powerhouse energy producers, but a new method shows how simple tubes might be able to turn falling rain into an energy source. In tests, the method was able to ...

Water flowing through a thin, polymer-coated tube in short bursts, or plugs, as demonstrated in these illustrations and images, can produce electricity. When two materials come into contact, charged ...
