Abstract: Electrically-driven soft robots based on piezoelectric actuators may enable compact form factors and maneuverability in complex environments. In most prior work, piezoelectric actuators are ...
"I just came to pump gas. And did anybody know this about pumping?" she asks, before showing a warning label on the pump ...
Ticks can’t jump. But thanks to the forces of static electricity, sometimes, the arachnids can soar through the air, a new study says.
Abstract: In this paper we present the design and implementation of a new flexible testbed for testing electricity meters with conducted EMI in the frequency range up to 150 kHz. This testbed is based ...
Dispelling a viral myth, experts confirm fridge magnets do not increase electricity bills. The weak magnetic fields from common magnets pose no threat to your refrigerator's cooling system or energy ...
Over the past few months, Americans have looked aghast at their rising electricity bills — in New Jersey, for example, prices have risen 19 percent just in the last year — and found one clear ...
Researchers have developed a novel power generation system that uses the friction generated as everyday water moves in and out of precisely engineered nanometer-sized pores in silicon monoliths to ...
A European research team involving Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY has developed a novel way for converting mechanical energy into electricity – by ...
The rate of inflation remained static in September, according to official figures, which could raise prospects for interest rate cuts ahead. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) had been expected ...
Researchers found that cycling water in nanopores of water-repellent silicon can convert mechanical energy into measurable electricity. (Nanowerk News) A European research team involving scientists ...
