An energy affordability wave election, rising gas prices, Canadian grid expansion, drones and next-gen geothermal grow.

In theory, harnessing all the wave energy along the coasts of the United States could generate 2.64 trillion kilowatt hours of power. Cost and the corrosive nature of salt water are but two obstacles ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As models grow from billions to trillions of parameters, the bottleneck is no ...

Ocean waves could be an enormous source of power for the grid: In the U.S., the motion of waves along coastlines could generate as much as 1.4 trillion kilowatt-hours a year, or around a third of the ...

The potential to generate clean, renewable energy from the ocean is vast, possibly rivaling wind and even solar power. Yet research and development of harnessing waves and tides for electricity have ...

The region’s largest power transmitter, the federal Bonneville Power Administration, will be the lone customer for that emissions-free energy. In a recent agreement with PacWave — OSU’s test facility ...

We’ve figured out how to harness renewable energy from many natural systems, like solar, wind, and geothermal power. But what about the ocean’s waves? It might seem like converting wave power into ...

Representative TENG Architectures for Efficient Blue-Energy Harvesting. This figure illustrates several triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) designs engineered to capture low-frequency ocean-wave energy ...
