Researchers Unveil Futuristic Eye-Tracking Technology That Sounds Like Something from Science Fiction

Scientists have successfully demonstrated a low-cost, self-powered eye-tracking technology that is powered by the friction of blinking eyes.

Scientists have invented a new type of device that uses water and silicon covered with tiny pores to convert friction into usable electricity.

This newly invented smart window can reflect incoming heat, defrost itself, and generate electricity from falling raindrops.

The world's first-ever grid-scale wave energy harvesting device has been installed on a US Naval Base off the coast of Oahu, Hawaii.

Scientists find a simple hack to greatly increase the output of blue energy generators that harvest the power of ocean waves.
