Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed an inexpensive device that generates enough electricity to power a calculator using only waste walnut shells and drops of water.

This new invention could make today’s heavy electric vehicle batteries lighter, safer and increase their range.

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how diamond — the material used to encase fuel for fusion experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory — can develop tiny structural flaws that may limit fusion performance.

Polaritons are formed by the strong coupling of light and matter.

A combination of policies could drive the transition to “clean steel” – cutting emissions from a hard-to-decarbonise industry, new research shows.

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. 

In the quest for energy independence, researchers have studied solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) as a promising source of solar electricity generation.

New research can identify opportunities to drive down the cost of renewable energy systems, batteries, and many other technologies.

NASA’s announcement that it will accelerate the Fission Surface Power program, targeting deployment of a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030, represents an ambitious acceleration of extraterrestrial energy strategy.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a simple yet powerful method to characterize lithium metal battery performance with the help of a widely used imaging tool: scanning electron microscopy.
