Converting wave motion into electricity holds enormous potential as a renewable energy source, but a lack of standardized prototyping is holding back technological development. A research team led by ...

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 ...

The applications of ultrathin, conductive films such as those made of graphene have many applications, but it's been thought their efficacy is limited to absorbing only half of the incidental light at ...

Ships can become mobile wave energy converters, say Chinese researchers, using "heaving oscillators" that draw power from heaving, rolling and pitching movements as they move through the sea, while ...

Scientists at the University of Osaka in Japan have turned to gyroscopes to efficiently ...

What if the key to solving the renewable energy puzzle has been quietly rolling beneath the surface all along? While solar panels and wind turbines dominate the conversation, the vast, untapped power ...
