For years, scientists have been trying to replicate the concept of nuclear fusion — the phenomenon that keeps the Sun and other stars alive — and turn it into a working reactor on Earth that can ...

In a world chasing cleaner energy, a group of physicists may have uncovered a surprising new way to make power: by tapping into the Earth's own rotation. That's right, researchers at Princeton ...

A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S., is proposing the possibility of generating electricity using energy from ...

In a controversial experiment, a team of physicists investigated whether we could harness the Earth’s rotational energy to generate electricity. It’s a deceptively simple idea that researchers have ...

In brief: A team of physicists believe it may be possible to harvest electricity using Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field, and they've published a paper involving a test that appears to ...

A stream of compressed air does not look like a power source. In factories, it usually hisses through pipes, drives tools, then disappears as waste.
