What happens as a raindrop impacts bare soil has been fairly well-studied, but what happens to raindrops afterward is poorly understood. We know that the initial splash of raindrops on soil ...

Rain hits the ground in drops of different sizes, but the mechanism that produces this distribution is unclear. Could it be that all we need to know is contained in the death of a single drop? In this ...

Solar panels rely on good weather. When clouds roll in and the sky darkens, solar panels tend to work less proficiently. Solar engineers have struggled with this problem for years now. Something is ...

Chinese scientists at Nanjing University developed a floating droplet electricity generator (DEG) that harnesses raindrop energy without heavy land-based structures. The device, successfully tested on ...

The conventional droplet electricity generator (C-DEG) uses a metal bottom electrode and a rigid substrate, and is generally employed on land. In contrast, the new water-integrated floating droplet ...

In the future, your roof could generate power not only from the sun but also from falling rain. In a recent study, scientists demonstrated a new way to capture renewable energy from rainwater. “There ...

Scientists have successfully generated electricity from water droplets with high efficiency using a method called plug flow, where water columns with air pockets create charge separation. The new ...
