Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of ...

Local researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC have developed the first-ever blood-driven nanogenerator — a tiny device that will likely have a huge impact across the country.

This array of nearly 150 LEDs is powered by repeatedly sticking and unsticking layers of store-bought tape as part of a triboelectric nanogenerator, along with plastic and aluminum.

This research field has expanded rapidly in recent years due to the potential of nanogenerator breakthroughs as sustainable and renewable sources of energy. In this article, we explain the different ...

The nanogenerator was inspired by the way that existing carbon capture systems selectively absorb CO 2 from industrial flue gas, says Xiwang Zhang, the university's Dow Chair in Sustainable ...

Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of energy. Using a device called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), ...
