Controlled electrical discharges could enable triboelectric nanogenerators to achieve higher peak currents, extending nano-enabled energy harvesting into chemical processing and self-powered sensing.

Researchers have succeeded in making electrons leave in a chosen direction using two lasers. No external electric field is needed to impose this movement. The experiment shows that a current can be ...
