Artificial plants can convert wind and rain into electricity

Researchers recently proposed a proof-of-concept to partially address the issue by simultaneously harnessing electricity from two natural forces. It could lead to more resilient and longer-lasting power sources for certain devices after further development. Combining two clean power methods into a single gear could facilitate efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Currently, such devices mostly rely on conventional electricity grids or lithium-ion batteries. Batteries eventually require recharging or disposal, and disposal can harm the environment....
