As more information is gathered on Alzheimer's disease, it is now accepted that a protein called amyloid-beta has a key role in the disease's progression. New research done in Tel Aviv uses electricity to balance the protein's levels in the brain.

When it comes to power grids, a major issue is the differences in consumption in different times. The solution could come in the form of giant batteries, storing energy during off-peak hours – and releasing them when necessary.

The electricity bill is probably the one that causes most people to do a double take. One of the reasons for the high price of electricity is that electricity companies spend enormous amounts of money generating power during peak hours. Greenlet offers a smart way to reduce your peak electricity consumption and make money in the process.

HydroSpin developed micro-generators that use the flow of water within pipelines to develop electricity. The power generated is then used for monitors and devices that detect leakages or bursts.

Israeli company SDE utilizes the motion of sea waves to produce low cost electricity. It was lately ranked by international scientists as the world’s number one developer of Sea Wave Energy Technologies. The system takes advantage of the wave's speed, height, depth, rise and fall - and the flow beneath the approaching wave to produce energy.

A technology that converts vibrations and stress from passing vehicles into energy can turn our highways into power generators. A successful pilot was conducted in Israel and is being followed by another one in California.

AORA Solar, an Israeli developer of concentrated solar power, will be opening its second-ever gas-turbine solar thermal power station in Spain. The plant will answer the electricity needs of the local population and provide additional heat energy for an adjacent desalination facility.

Borrowing a fiber of sapphire from the Oakridge National Lab in Tennessee, scientists at Tel Aviv University developed a superconducting wire barely thicker than a human hair that conducts 40 times the electricity of its copper brethren.

Do you know how much electricity each device in your house is using? Panoramic Power, an Israeli company, has invented a mechanism it says can measure each electric plug and appliance to help reduce electricity bills.

Israeli company IDE is expanding its foreign operations by signing a deal with China’s large Tianjin SDIC electricity company to build four water desalination plants.

General Motors car passengers will soon be able to wirelessly charge their cell phones, music players and other electronic devices on a car mat designed by Israeli start-up, Powermat.
