22、he idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的)effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David Ma knew that its possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why dont we use water?”A drop of wa

23、ter sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 L

24、ED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction( 摩 擦 ). Earlier experiments, though, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode(电极). This is

25、 different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his teams model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop

26、 of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics,” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic appliances

27、we use every day,” he says.Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says.

30、y fiction before I was introduced to CaMalcolm Gladwells work.In his TED talk called Choice, Happiness, and Spaghetti Sauce (意大利面酱), he used the examples of Pepsi and spaghetti sauce to argue that giving people choices makes them happy. If I had only heard his conclusion statement and missed the evi

31、dence that he employed, I would have been wondering how he could argue such an interesting point. But he structured his argument like a detective story, with each puzzle piece contributing to the conclusion.Fascinated, I borrowed his book Outliers: The Story of Success from the library.
