This is why, researchers from MIT took on the task to see exactly how much energy they can produce from condensation. […]

In a study funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the MIT researcher Nenad Milijkovic and team demonstrate that electric charge is detected as water droplets attached to superhydrophobic surfaces bounce away. This […]
