Across the world, wind power is growing fast—but not fast enough. To meet climate goals and reach carbon neutrality, the United Nations says global wind energy must triple in the next ten years.

Insights from a new study could help unlock the full potential of a developing form of smaller-scale wind power generation, researchers say. Engineers from the University of Glasgow have used ...

The Tesla turbine is a bladeless centripetal-flow turbine invented by Nikola Tesla in 1913, using the boundary-layer effect rather than having a stream of gases or a fluid impinge on blades. Recently ...

Bionic bladeless propellers, inspired by the effortless movement of jellyfish, are transforming aquatic propulsion. Traditional propellers are noisy, inefficient, and hazardous to marine life, but ...
