"Harvesting Electricity from Thin Air: New Breakthroughs in Science"

Scientists have discovered a way to generate electricity from air humidity using nearly any material, including wood or silicon, as long as it can be smashed into small particles and remade with microscopic pores. The air-powered generator, known as an “Air-gen,” uses the energy from humidity, which is always present, rather than depending on the sun or wind. The device is dotted with tiny holes known as nanopores, which allow the water in the air to pass through in a way that creates a charge imbalance, effectively creating a battery that runs continuously. The team hopes to make the tool more efficient and develop a strategy to make the device bigger without blocking the humidity that can be captured.
