New green technology harvests energy from raindrops and humidity
Sunlight and wind are the fastest growing energy sources on the planet. Now imagine drawing power from a third, even more plentiful green source: moisture in the air. That’s the vision of Jun Yao, an applied physicist at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who has devised a porous film that converts the charges naturally present in water vapor into power. To be clear, Yao’s films are the size of a postage stamp and only generate a tiny current. But Yao is just getting started. And he’s not alone. Teams around the globe are creating a bevy of novel “hydrovoltaic” devices able to convert the energy inherent in ...

French-led team unveils 11.7 tesla MRI scans of human brain
A research group based in Saclay, near Paris, has taken the wraps off what it claims are the world's first MRI scans of the human brain in vivo taken at a field strength of 11.7 tesla. President Emmanuel Macron has congratulated the researchers on social media.
