Development of Highly Durable Sliding Triboelectric Nanogenerator Using Diamond-Like Carbon Films
Climate change is affecting every being on the planet. The time has arrived to give a big push for harvesting renewable energy sources, thus reducing the dependencies on fossil fuels and chemical batteries. This inspired Nanotechnologists to explore energy harvesting techniques from the environment....

Climate change is affecting every being on the planet.
