Today, indoor temperatures are generally controlled by devices—whether they are smart, portable, or wedged in a window. Most ...

Much of the abundant mechanical energy around us is irregular and oscillatory and can be somewhat difficult to efficiently tap into. Typical energy harvesting systems tend to be built for low ...

Mechanical Engineering—MS is a research intensive program, which plays a key role in achieving environmental, industrial, and societal sustainability.

Researchers have developed a self-charging power cell that directly converts mechanical energy to chemical energy, storing the power until it is released as electrical current. The development ...

Collecting energy from various small mechanical processes has always been something that’s been technically possible, but never done on a large scale due to issues with cost and scalability.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The mechanical energy storage market is expected to grow by 58.27 GigaWatts during 2021-2025, according to Technavio. The report offers a detailed analysis of the impact ...

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated a new way to transport energy even through wave-guides that are defective, and even if the disorder is a transient phenomenon in time.

A once-overlooked technology that taps into the Earth's heat to generate electricity could supply up to 20% of the ...

Agile Interconnected Energy Systems is a multidisciplinary research center with a broad research goal of solving long-term technical challenges of our nation's energy objective through microgrid ...

Ralph Merkle, Robert Freitas and others have a theoretical design for a molecular mechanical computer that would be 100 billion times more energy efficient than the most energy efficient conventional ...
