Engineers at UMass Amherst Harvest Abundant Clean Energy from Thin Air, 24/7

Posted by in categories: energy, materials

A team of engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has recently shown that nearly any material can be turned into a device that continuously harvests electricity from humidity in the air.


Researchers describe the “generic Air-gen effect”—nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest, cost effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity.
