Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...

A research team from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the failure mechanism of diamond under ...

In storm clouds, ice does more than just float or fall—it might actually help generate electricity. A new study in Nature ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or ...

If your utility bill has increased recently, you're not alone. Electricity costs are, on average, 5.5% higher today than a year ago, and natural gas has increased by 13.8%, according to data from the ...

Particle simulations reveal more raindrops, packed more tightly together, lead to earlier streamer discharges in high-voltage DC transmission lines.

As your city begins to expand, it's likely that at some point, you'll run into electricity bottlenecks. While worrisome at first, electricity bottlenecks can be easily circumvented with a quick fix.

Ice can generate electricity when bent, a process called flexoelectricity. The discovery connects to lightning formation and ...

The grid is strained by increasing demand from electricity-hungry data centers and electric vehicles, disruptions due to severe weather events, and more. The grid is strained by increasing demand from ...

Trinity College Dublin scientists showed that electrical stimulation reprograms macrophages to reduce inflammation and boost healing. This breakthrough could lead to broad therapeutic uses.

The United States faces an energy crunch of historic proportions. After nearly 20 years of flat demand, electricity use is now growing at its fastest rate since World War II. The U.S. economy ...

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Tuesday that rising electricity prices are what he “worries about most” as Americans face high power bills. “It’s what I worry about most — seven days a week. We ...
