As any surfer will tell you, waves pack a powerful punch. Now, we are one step closer to capturing the energy behind the ocean’s constant ebb and flow with an improved “blue energy” harvesting device.

A new way to convert chemical energy into movement has been demonstrated by Japanese researchers, who surfed pieces of paper on chemical waves that were not previously thought able to exert force. The ...

More than half a century ago, Sir Roger Penrose envisioned a scenario in which energy could be extracted from a black hole spinning at extreme speeds. He proposed that a particle entering its ...

Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...

Both winds and tides inject energy into the ocean. Much of that energy is then transported up to thousands of miles by internal waves: large-scale underwater waves that can travel between ocean basins ...

The propagation of mechanical deformations along the circular network of beads, which are shown as red, blue, green dots. Chemical waves (shown in magenta) travel in the counter-clockwise direction ...
