Porto researchers generating energy from waves
Researchers from the Faculty of Science of the University of Porto (FCUP) have developed three devices that, from the movement of waves, can generate electricity and the goal is now to install them in ocean buoys.
In a statement, FCUP explains that the study, published in the journal Nano Energy and developed by researchers from the Institute of Advanced Materials Physics, Nanotechnology and Photonics, had the mission "to generate energy from the movement of waves".
Within the scope of this study, the researchers developed three nanogenerators that can generate electricity through the movement of waves.
