Imagine generating power not from sunlight or wind, but from the simple mixing of fresh and salt water. This is the quiet ...

Yet, new research suggests that bending ice and adding salt to it could transform this winter nuisance into a potential ...

Adding salt to ice greatly boosts its electricity output when bent, opening paths for new devices and power generation in ...

Combining ice with salt makes the electrical charge exponentially stronger. It could be a useful power source for a more sustainable future.

Can ice generate electricity? It’s not as far-fetched as you may think. Learn about the new research that “brings the vision ...

Experiments reveal that when slabs of salty ice are strained, electricity is generated, though practical uses are still a long way off.

For most of us, ice is a hazard. Whether it's making roads dangerously slippery or covering our sidewalks, this frozen form of water is something we often try to avoid. Yet, a discovery suggests that ...

When a solid and a liquid come into contact, charged entities on both sides push one another apart. This phenomenon is known as charge separation, and it creates an electric double layer—a layer each ...

A new battery system removes toxic metals from wastewater and generates electricity in the process, offering a low-cost, power-positive alternative to conventional treatment. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Now, a team of researchers from UNIST in South Korea has created a solar-powered device that can produce fresh water directly ...
