The cost of solar power has dropped dramatically over the past decade, making it the cheapest source of electricity in much of the world. Clearly, that can mean cheaper power. But it also means that ...

Solar power is going to play a major role in combating climate change, but it requires huge amounts of land. Floating solar panels on top of reservoirs could provide up to a third of the world's ...

Chinese scientists have recently unveiled a floating hydrovoltaic generator that converts the energy of falling raindrops directly into electricity while resting on water surfaces. Designed at the ...

A new floating droplet electricity generator is redefining how rain can be harvested as a clean power source by using water itself as both structural support and an electrode. This nature-integrated ...

Chinese scientists have built and tested a floating droplet electricity generator (DEG) to turn the kinetic energy of raindrops into renewable power. Unlike conventional DEGs, which are used on land ...

The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and water reservoirs: Known as floating photovoltaics, or floatovoltaics, the devices bob on ...

The search is for new ways to harness renewable resources to supply our rising energy needs. The key question, however, is why ocean and sea waves haven't been used in carbon emission reduction ...

How can we provide a reliable supply of energy far out to sea, or on an island, or in a coastal community? The typical answer is by using fossil-fuelled generators. But as efforts to decarbonize ...
