Household energy isn't all stoves [PDF]

Boiling point, 1998
When people talk about 'household energy', most people automatically think of stoves. A lot of attention has been paid to improving stoves to make them more energy efficient and to reduce their pollution. This is one side of the 'stoves' approach, whilst others look at the 'supply' side of the problem by, for example, setting up woodlots.

All-Biobased Hydrovoltaic-Photovoltaic Electricity Generators for All-Weather Energy Harvesting

Research, 2022
Hygroelectricity generators (HEGs) utilize the latent heat stored in environmental moisture for electricity generation, but nevertheless are showing relatively low power densities due to their weak energy harvesting capacities. Inspired by epiphytes that

Propagation properties of cosh-Airy beams in an inhomogeneous medium with Gaussian PT-symmetric potentials

Open Physics, 2022
We numerically investigate and statistically analyze the impact of medium parameters (modulation depth P, modulation factor ω, and gain/loss strength W 0) and beam parameters (truncation coefficient a and distribution factor χ
