Humanity is in desperate need of new energy sources if our species wants to continue enjoying this planet we like to call home. Ocean wave energy has a great potential to fulfill that need in some parts of the globe, but we’ve been barely scratching the surface when it comes to harvesting the power of this source. Now a promising technology might help us double that power.
In an advance that could make wave energy a viable renewable alternative, researchers have developed prototype technology that can double the power harvested from ocean waves.
