Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

Learn how to build a simple solar cell at home using copper tape, plastic cups, and water. This step-by-step science experiment demonstrates how to harness solar energy to generate electricity.

A new heat-to-energy converter has reached a record efficiency of 44% – the average steam turbine manages about 35%, for comparison. This thermophotovoltaic cell is a major step on the way to ...

More than a decade ago, Northwestern chemists and materials scientists reported in Nature the first solid-state solar cell based on a halide perovskite semiconductor — an advance that ultimately ...

Cells bumping against one another use electricity to identify which of their neighbors has the least energy to expel them. The King's College London study in partnership with the Francis Crick ...

What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...
