The number of ways to harvest energy that would otherwise go unused and wasted is extraordinary. To cite a few of the many examples, there’s the heat given off during almost any physical or electronic ...

Vibrational energy dynamics and transport encompass the processes by which energy, deposited as molecular vibrations, is redistributed within and between molecules. This field investigates both the ...

Energy harvesting technology collects and transforms waste energy like heat, vibration, light, and electromagnetic waves from everyday settings like buildings, automobiles, and home appliances.

A research team has developed a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) piezoelectric vibration energy harvester, which is only about 2 cm in diameter with a U-shaped metal vibration amplification ...

Using a more complex resonator as a dynamic magnifier, the efficiency of a MEMS-based energy harvester undergoing random impulse stimulation is greatly improved. The limitations of basic piezo-based ...

Harvesting energy sources such as heat, vibration, light, and electromagnetic waves from everyday environments such as industrial sites and automobiles and converting them into electrical energy is ...

(Nanowerk News) Metamaterials are artificially engineered composite materials derive their properties from internal micro- and nanostructures, rather than the chemical composition found in natural ...

Osaka, Japan – Walking can boost not only your own energy but also, potentially, the energy of your wearable electronic devices. Osaka Metropolitan University scientists made a significant advance ...
