Based out of the Netherlands, Energy Floors creates clean and renewable energy-producing systems that are activated by movement. Dance, walk and compete your way towards creating energy that then runs the lights and charges...

No power outlet? No problem. Juicing up your gadgets may soon be as easy as lifting your finger. Scientists from the University at Buffalo and the Institute of Semiconductors at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed...

Surf's up! Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Japan are working to create special turbines that harvest the renewable energy of waves while simultaneously protecting coastlines from...

Harnessing the force of gravity, researchers at MIT have designed a new liquid battery that functions similarly to an hourglass. the gravity-powered liquid battery at MIT could be groundbreaking in its simplicity, efficiency...

Wave power—energy harvested from ocean currents—is likely to be the next big thing in renewable energy generation, so researchers are spending quite a bit of time on new technologies to take advantage of the sustainable...

Surfers at Sydney's Bondi Beach aren't the only Australians catching waves. The Perth-based Carnegie Wave Energy Project just set a world record by completing 14,000 cumulative operating hours. Located off Garden Island,...

Las Vegas is gambling on green, making a big bet on clean energy with a plan to go 100 percent renewable. Most recently, a massive new solar plant in the Nevada desert went online. The Crescent Dunes concentrated solar power...

When it comes to alternative energy, wind and solar get all the attention. But there are plenty of other energy sources out there just waiting to be tapped. From the bizarre (dirty diapers, anyone?) to the common (like good...

Today, UK transportation company Riversimple unveils their hydrogen-powered car. Designed by Chris Reitz, who worked on the Fiat 500, the car will be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and will emit nothing but a small amount...

Harnessing abundant but inaccessible energy from unlikely sources may soon be as simple as taking a walk in the park. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed a new method of harvesting kinetic energy...
