Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of energy. Using a device called a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy using triboelectric effect static. Many TENGs contain expensive, specially fabricated materials, but one team has instead used inexpensive store-bought […]
Covestro recently announced that four of its U.S. sites have reached net-zero Scope 2 electricity emissions through the allocation of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
