Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) have taken the term ‘green power’ literally by running an electric circuit from the power generated by trees. Sure, there isn’t much electrical power ...

You've probably already heard of the idea of harvesting electricity from body heat to power small devices, such as those in the far-flung idea of a body area network. Now, a similar idea has been ...

You've heard about flower power. What about tree power? It turns out that it's there, the electric kind, in small but measurable quantities. In fact, there's enough power in trees for US researchers ...

A team of researchers from the University of Washington (Seattle, WA) successfully demonstrated that there is enough power in trees to run a custom circuit solely off tree power. The team does not ...

For the first time researchers have run an electrical circuit entirely off power in trees. The findings suggest a new power source for wireless sensors -- and a way to monitor tree health. You've ...
