We're really excited about this work transforming #waste #polymers into #sustainable #energyharvesters, led out of RMIT Research and with Andris Šutka 🇱🇻🇺🇦 from Riga Technical University. Read the work our innovation is based on here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A mobile plate moving over particles in a vibrating granular system creates an effective potential that pushes particles into an ordered configuration, stabilised by electric charges. Thanks, ignaas1903, for this collaboration. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art…
