Salt-Doped Ice Electricity: Power from Bent Ice with a Twist
How salt-doped ice can generate electricity Researchers from China and Spain, with collaborators in New York, have demonstrated a surprising way to harvest electricity from ice. By introducing salt into ice, the material becomes conducive to flexoelectric effects when bent. Flexoelectricity is the generation of an electrical charge due to non-uniform mechanical strain. In this…
