a new discovery in exotic materials known as strange metals has found electricity doesn't always move in step, and can in fact sometimes bleed in a way that has physicists questioning what we know about the nature of particles.
Scientists in the US have developed a device that can harvest humidity in the air to create a clean electricity supply. According to the researchers “nearly any material can be turned into a device that harvests electricity from air”.
Australian scientists have discovered an enzyme that converts air into energy. This enzyme uses the low amounts of the hydrogen in the atmosphere to create an electrical current.
