"Harvesting Electricity from Thin Air: A Breakthrough Discovery by Scientists"

TL;DR Summary
Engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a technology that can produce clean energy continuously from humidity in the air. The technology, called the "generic Air-gen effect," is based on a porous structure at the nanoscale that can be incorporated into virtually any material. The device features a thin layer of material replete with nanopores smaller than 100 nm, facilitating water molecules' movement from the top to the bottom, creating a continuously running battery as long as there is humidity in the air. The technology could revolutionize the renewable energy sector and pave the way for a more sustainable future.
