Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new ...

Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice is a flexoelectric material, capable of generating electricity when bent or unevenly deformed. At very low temperatures, it can even become ferroelectric, ...

In storm clouds, ice does more than just float or fall—it might actually help generate electricity. A new study in Nature Physicsfinds that when ordinary ice is bent, it can produce an electric charge ...

Every day, vast quantities of rain fall across the planet. Until now, all that energy has simply gone to waste. But scientists may have found a clever new way to tap into this overlooked natural ...
