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 […]

Generating Electricity From Snowfall
17.06.2019 TriboNet

It is interesting to know that researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have come up with an innovative device that can generate electricity from the snow we are all familiar with. Nothing […]

Triboelectric charges on HDPE are strain induced
08.09.2017 TriboNet

New research indicates how static electricity puts the charge in material, offering answer to centuries-old question For centuries, scientists have tried to understand triboelectric charging, commonly known as static electricity. Triboelectric charging causes toner from […]

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 […]
