The field of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) has witnessed rapid advancements, particularly in the integration of wave energy harvesting systems. These vehicles convert the incessant kinetic energy ...

In November 2023, violent Atlantic storm “Domingos” struck the northern coast of Portugal, generating record-high waves and leaving a path of destruction across much of Western Europe. People on land ...

Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...

After more than a decade of planning, permitting, community outreach, drilling, cable-laying and construction, Oregon is now home to the largest-capacity wave energy testing facility in the world.

Off the Oregon coast just south of Newport, large rounded swells rocked The Discovery from side to side, the waves nearly tipping the boat sideways. Deep under the wobbling vessel, steel pipes ...

The CSIRO projects that wave energy as a sector can scale up to provide some 1.3% of global energy demand by 2050, or around 170 GW of installed capacity. WSE's job now is to start getting these ...

Usama Kadri receives funding from the Leverhulme Trust: Research Project Grant number 523930. Many devices have been designed to capture and convert waves’ great power into electricity, but today’s ...

Oregon is poised to become a center of wave energy technology development. Oregon completed construction on the largest wave energy testing center on the planet in the spring of 2025. The PacWave ...

The ancient Greeks conceived of five building blocks of matter – from bottom to top: earth, water, air, fire and aether. Aether was the matter that filled the heavens and explained the rotation of the ...
