A new flexible thermoelectric generator can wrap around pipes and other hot surfaces and convert wasted heat into electricity.

An estimated two-thirds of humanity is affected by shortages of water and in the developing world face a lack of dependable electricity.

NTU scientists have developed a stretchable and waterproof ‘fabric’ that turns energy generated from body movements into electrical energy.

The energy systems that power our lives also produce wasted heat—like heat that radiates off hot water pipes in buildings and exhaust pipes.

Having trouble hearing? Just turn up your shirt. That’s the idea behind a new “acoustic fabric” developed by engineers at MIT.

Researchers have made tiny ‘skyscrapers’ for communities of bacteria, helping them to generate electricity from just sunlight and water.

Micro supercapacitors could revolutionise the way we use batteries by increasing their lifespan and enabling extremely fast charging.

Researchers demonstrated a way to harness shadows, a common but often overlooked optical effect, to generate electricity.

Tiny dressings that generate electricity in response to movement could accelerate wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Scientists have created a new triboelectric fabric that generates electricity from the movement of the body while remaining flexible.

Using specialized nanoparticles embedded in plant leaves, MIT engineers have created a light-emitting plant that can be charged by an LED.

Statistics show that 67% of the developing world still goes without household electricity and relying on poluting kerosene lamps for light.
