For the first time, scientists have filmed high-speed video of a phenomenon where trees emit an electrical glow by generating sparks during thunderstorms. The results of a study published in Geophysical Research Letters show that the trees’ branches can emit faint blue light known as corona discharge, thanks to sensors and cameras deployed in the […]
Finland is slowly making a name for itself as an innovator, albeit a low-key one, regarding wireless electricity transmission, which aims to transmit power via the airwaves without having to use cables, sockets, or connectors. Although the concept remains more than a little exotic-sounding, scientists from Finland are slowly but surely pushing the boundaries of […]
But there are exceptions: Several states that aren’t especially windy and sunny have required utilities to buy more electricity from large-scale wind or solar farms, such as Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts and New York. These requirements, which are often adopted to lower greenhouse gas emissions, can add a noticeable surcharge to bills. Many states — including […]
