The Japanese research team elucidated the microscopic mechanism in which amorphous silica becomes negatively charged as a vibrational energy harvester, which is anticipated to achieve self-power ...

What drives cells to live and engines to move? It all comes down to a quantity that scientists call "free energy," essentially the energy that can be extracted from any system to perform useful work.

Physicists show how microscopic particles can harness fluctuations and external forces to minimize transport energy and even extract usable work. A particle (red sphere) is guided from left to its ...

Energy systems rarely fail because electricity cannot be generated. They fail because it cannot be delivered reliably at acceptable cost. Over the last decade, this distinction has become increasingly ...

A University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) research associate and electrical engineering professor have designed a micro-wind turbine that generates electrical energy. Their target looks to be an ...

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists-Dr. John Clarke (Professor Emeritus, University of California ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Due to the limitations of existing microdosimetry models, a new model called MICOR has been developed to analyze the spatial distribution of ...

The Japanese research team elucidated the microscopic mechanism in which amorphous silica(1) becomes negatively charged as a vibrational energy harvester(2), which is anticipated to achieve self-power ...

Researchers have devised and demonstrated a new way to measure free energy. By using microscopy to track and analyze the fluctuating motion or configuration of single molecules or other small objects, ...
