Imagine a world where your clothing generates electricity as you move—no batteries, no chargers, just energy from motion.

"Specifically, we wanted to know if we could create energy from friction in amphiphile-modified materials. It turns out we could not only generate electricity, but we could do so while also ...

Last week, Beijing responded to American criticism of its protection of the clean energy products sector with a complaint before the World Trade Organization, alleging that the United States ...

When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy. Friction can sometimes be useful. For example, we rely on the soles of ...

When friction acts between two surfaces that are moving over each other, some kinetic energy is transformed into thermal (heat) energy. Friction can sometimes be useful. For example, we rely on ...

It is irreversible because fluids have viscosity, and whenever velocity gradients appear in the flow there will be friction and energy dissipation due to viscous stresses. The flow can be reversible ...

A molecular membrane that allows select ions to cross with almost no friction could significantly ... to the world’s transition to clean energy. “Ion exchange membranes play an increasingly ...

The recent developments in understanding friction and the leading factors that determine the frictional response at the nanoscale (see Fig. 1), were the main topics of debate at the recent Trends ...

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) generate electricity through friction between different ... Advancements in triboelectrification could enable new energy-harvesting applications without ...
