Engineers have developed a new type of hybrid solar energy converter, which uses energy from the Sun to create both electricity and steam. The device reportedly has high efficiency and runs at low ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

Wave energy has long been seen as a promising source of clean electricity. The ocean is always moving, and that motion ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...

If you find yourself in the Australian port city of Albany and spot a humongous yellow machine bobbing in the waves of King George Sound, don't be alarmed. It's just a generator prototype making a ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- For years, researchers have been in search of an economically feasible method of converting nuclear energy directly into electricity. Now, University of Missouri researchers are ...

From energy-storage to next-generation conversion systems, interfaces are central to performance, efficiency and long-term ...

Ocean waves are a vast and steady source of renewable energy, but capturing their power efficiently has long frustrated engineers. A researcher at The University of Osaka has now explored a bold new ...
