In this article, we’ll dive into some of the most iconic machines that generate static electricity and explore how they work. Before we look at the fancy science gear, we should actually define ...

Ohio State University researchers develop a battery that converts nuclear waste into electricity using scintillator crystals ...

Electrets produce a semi-permanent static electric field ... He built a simple electric field detector, which is just a battery, LED and FET, with an open-ended resistor on the FET’s gate.

Here’s how the fungal battery, developed at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa), is able to generate electricity. Strictly speaking, Empa researchers ...
