Columbia University scientists reported the development of devices that derive directly from evaporation. The device is created to where it generates electricity causing a light to flash, and a rotary engine that drives a miniature car. Scientists suggest that one day it will have the ability to produce electricity from a giant floating power generators that sit on bays or reservoirs. According to Ozgur Sahin, Ph.D., an associate professor of biological sciences and physics at Columbia University, "Evaporation is a fundamental force of nature". There are spores in the device that transform the tapes in the device to tug or extend it, which will release a force resulting in a new type of artificial muscle that is controlled by changing humidity.
