	Electricity Eating Bacteria Actually Exists [VIDEO]
	There are bacteria that live off electricity, which feed off on naked electrons. What's more surprising is that scientists have found that these bacteria are not even rare. "Stick an electrode in the ground, pump electrons down it, and they will c...
	The Largest Solar Power Plant Opens
	The enormous solar power plant in the middle of the Mojave Desert just began operation yesterday. The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System will be generating about 30 percent of all the solar thermal energy that’ll be produced in entire United S...
	How Would You Like Infinite Power by Harnessing Vibrations?
	A team of scientists from Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research say they can harvest enough electricity from low frequency vibrations to power small electronic devices. Accumulating electric charge in response to mechanical stress...
	Man Got Star-Shaped Cataracts After Getting 14,000 Volt Electricty Jolt
	What happens when you get a jolt of 14,000 volts? The answer isn't pretty, and the result can sometimes vary. In the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers recount the fascinating case of an electrician who, after sustainin...
