Scientists have created flags that can generate electrical energy using wind and solar power. The novel wind and solar energy-harvesting flags have been developed using flexible piezoelectric strips ...
Humanity has been harvesting energy from the wind for centuries. The practice goes back at least to 8th century Persia where the first known historical records of windmills came, but likely ...
The scientists are working with Ørsted, a renewable energy company that is building and operating more than 40 wind farms off the coast of the UK, northern Europe, Taiwan, and the United States.
Unlike birds and insects, bats have flexible wings made of a thin membrane, allowing them to fly more efficiently. Inspired by this, researchers at EPFL’s School of Engineering have designed bat-like ...
