Materials scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a phenomenon—the direct conversion of mechanical energy to chemical energy—which they termed the piezoelectrochemical (PZEC) effect. Smaller fibers bend more easily than larger crystals and therefore also produce electric charges easily.

Gerald Kulcinski, University of Wisconsin A new breed of maverick fusioneers is aiming to solve the neutron problem. Their approach is to swap D-T fuels for readily available elements that, when fused, release energy that’s carried by charged particles, instead of neutrons. They also produce little or no radioactive waste.

A group of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and a collaborator from China have developed a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) that harvests energy from a car’s rolling tire friction. the generation of an electric charge resulting from the contact or rubbing together of two dissimilar objects. That energy is wasted.
