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), ...

An innovative triboelectric nanogenerator using store-bought tape achieves high power output, enabling self-powered sensors ...

Improving upon a previously reported design, researchers publishing in ACS Omega have created a triboelectric nanogenerator ...

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.

A triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) certainly sounds like the sort of thing you’d need to graduate from Starfleet Engineering to put together, but it actually operates on the same principle ...

The quest to mimic human touch in technology has led researchers to explore piezoelectric and triboelectric effects as ...
