Ice can generate electricity when bent, a process called flexoelectricity. The discovery connects to lightning formation and ...

Planetary scientist Scott Bolton describes his working life at the helm of NASA’s Jupiter-exploring Juno mission ...

Can ice generate electricity? It’s not as far-fetched as you may think. Learn about the new research that “brings the vision ...

A study co-led by ICN2 reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed. Published in Nature Physics, this discovery could have major ...

Combining ice with salt makes the electrical charge exponentially stronger. It could be a useful power source for a more sustainable future.

Graphene is an extraordinary material—a sheet of interlocking carbon atoms just one atom thick that is stable and extremely conductive. This makes it useful in a range of areas, such as flexible ...

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is ...
