Water droplets falling through a tube have generated enough electricity to power 12 LED lights. Such an approach could one day be used in roof-based systems to harvest lots of clean power from rain.

In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at quantum computing for image recognition, a gene therapy using a patient’s own skin cells, electricity-generating bacteria, using physics to cook ...

A team has discovered how certain bacteria breathe by generating electricity, using a natural process that pushes electrons into their surroundings instead of breathing on oxygen. The findings could ...
