Story summary
- Scientists have developed a method to harness electrical activity in salty ice.
- Previous studies observed faint electrical activity in colliding glaciers but lacked practical uses.
- The breakthrough involves freezing water with varying salt (NaCl) concentrations.
- Tests revealed that bending salty ice produced up to 1,000 times more electricity than pure ice.
- This discovery may enable new electricity generation applications from ice.
