General Topics
Beware of triboelectricity! But it’s ok, there are solutions
23.08.2021 Jean-David Wheeler

What is the link between a grain silo, a nylon sleeping bag and a flying helicopter? They can all accumulate triboelectric charges! The charges accumulate because the materials in relative motion are insulating materials (respectively […]

Generating electricity through friction
17.05.2021 Nikhil Kunapareddy

Electricity is considered as a basic necessity for humans just like food, water and shelter. Ironically, if we think about it we need electricity to make food, water and shelter nowadays. In its early days, […]

New Stretchability Record Set by Nanogenerator
21.10.2019 TriboNet

A nanogenerator has set a new record by stretching in a manner similar to rubber band to more than 25 times its original length. This represents a 2500% stretchability factor, which beats the previous record […]

Triboelectricity to collect wave power
01.06.2017 TriboNet

Nature provides three sources of energy for free: sunlight, air and gravity. Solar and wind power are increasingly exploited, gravity less so. Hydraulic power plants harvest energy from flowing rivers. Tidal energy can be gathered […]

Triboelectricity to power your watch
09.05.2017 TriboNet

Despite the many advances in portable electronic devices, one thing remains constant: the need to plug them into a wall socket to recharge. Now researchers, reporting in the journal ACS Nano, have developed a light-weight, […]

Triboelectricity – a big renewable energy source
12.12.2016 TriboNet

Tribo-electric effect is an effect of electricity generation, when two dissimilar materials come into contact and electrons migrate from one to another. Most of us have observed the tribo-electric effect in their life when rubbed […]
