Flexible rubber blades for tidal turbines

Nature, Published online: 11 November 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11278-wFlexible tidal turbine blades with passive trailing-edge deformation match the energy yield of active pitch-controlled blades while reducing fatigue-inducing load fluctuations by up to one-third, lowering maintenance complexity.
