Small, possibly portable, nuclear reactors that can’t melt down are moving toward reality in the United States, with what may be the first two coming online or beginning construction this year.This article is brought to […]
The people of Orange Cove in Fresno County could soon be an unwilling part of an experiment in dangerous, expensive utility boondoggles. And if California’s gas companies get their way, families statewide will be forced […]
Researchers at Kogakuin University have discovered that adding phosphorus (P2O5) to sodium-yttrium-silicate glasses significantly enhances their performance as solid electrolytes for next-generation sodium-ion batteries. This improvement arises from the formation of the high-performance Na5YSi4O12 crystal […]
Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial emissions. The solar cells in […]
The EU is expected to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. How far along is it? “At its core, we simply don’t know. We have a good picture of the supply side—how quickly wind turbines are […]
Combining wind turbines with wave, solar and tidal devices on shared platforms reduces construction costs, improves stability and generates more reliable power, according to researchers from the University of Surrey. The comprehensive review examined hybrid […]
Due to cheaper cost, ease of production and environmental benefits, battery makers and electric vehicle manufacturers have long pursued dry processes for building electrodes. A new dry-processed electrode architecture from the University of Chicago Pritzker […]
Among the enduring challenges of storing energy—for wind or solar farms, or backup storage for the energy grid or data centers—is batteries that can hold large amounts of electricity for a long time. In addition […]
Hundreds of discarded batteries rattle along a conveyor belt into a crusher in a remote plant in northern India, fueling a multi-billion-dollar industry that is bolstering the country’s geopolitical ambitions.This article is brought to you […]
Up to now, it has only been possible to deduce indirectly why high-temperature batteries lose efficiency and durability while in use. For the first time, a team from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has now used […]
