-(Natural News) While solar energy is a clean source of energy, not everyone can afford the often expensive installation costs. Now, a recent article has revealed that we might soon be able to harness solar energy from hot pavements. Samer Dessouky, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at The University of Texas at San […]

-(Natural News) Because they exist fictitiously somewhere out there in cyberspace, digital cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin might seem like more eco-friendly alternatives to traditional cash. But the latest data shows that not only does “mining” Bitcoin consume unprecedented amounts of energy, but the bulk of this energy comes from coal: A highly-polluting substance that, when burned, […]

-(Natural News) Researchers have developed a new way to determine how many calories a person burns when walking uphill or downhill, as reported by the Science Daily. Researchers from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) have developed a more accurate method called the “Minimum Mechanics Model” to estimate how much energy a soldier uses when walking. […]

-(Natural News) Applying pressure to a protein found in tears, milk, and egg whites has been shown to generate electricity, according to a study published in Applied Physics Letters. A team of researchers from the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick in Ireland has recently discovered that electricity can be produced by pressing crystals of lysozyme, a protein that can be found in […]

-(Natural News) Evaporation shows potential as another source of renewable energy and may one day be harnessed to power nearly three-quarters of the United States, a study in the Nature Communications journal has revealed. A team of researchers at the Columbia University has found that lakes and water reservoirs in the U.S. could generate as much as 325 gigawatts of power, […]

-(Natural News) Dams and huge turbines are built to convert the water energy that waterfalls and rivers have into electricity. In order to manufacture that kind of energy on a far smaller scale, Chinese scientists are working on a lightweight power generator which is based on carbon nanotube fibers that can convert even the energy […]

-(Natural News) A prolonged heat wave that continues to hover over much of the West Coast of the United States is causing record temperature swells throughout California, putting major strain on the Golden State’s power grid. Recent reports suggest that if California residents don’t start cutting back on their energy usage, the power grid could […]
