Engineers have demonstrated the potential to produce clean energy continuously from humidity in the air.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing that virtually any material can be transformed into a continuous electricity-harvesting device from atmospheric humidity. By incorporating nanopores smaller than 100 nanometers in diameter, these engineers have unlocked the potential to generate clean electricity from thin air. This exciting research, published in

A team of engineers has recently shown that nearly any material can be turned into a device that continuously harvests electricity from humidity in the air. Researchers describe the 'generic Air-gen effect'-- nearly any material can be engineered with nanopores to harvest, cost effective, scalable, interruption-free electricity. The secret lies in being able to pepper the material with nanopores less than 100 nanometers in diameter.

University of Massachusetts Amherst research shows the air is a source of constant energy, potentially opening new clean energy sources.
