Clean Energy

A new tandem solar cell containing layers of silicon and perovskite has demonstrated an unprecedented efficiency of 33.7%.

Solar is growing fast enough to displace fossil fuels from the entire global economy before 2050, but infrastructure needs to keep up.

Westinghouse Electric Company has unveiled a small nuclear reactor based on the same tech as a larger reactor already in operation.

If nuclear reactors are retired, polluting energy sources that fill the gap could cause more than 5,000 premature deaths.

A new silicon anode material for EV batteries can boost a vehicle’s range by 20% while cutting down on charging times.

A cheaper, cleaner lithium recycling method could help ensure we have enough of the valuable metal to power the clean energy future.

There may be ways to enhance natural processes so the ocean pulls more carbon out of the atmosphere to help slow climate change.

Centralized power systems rely on large power plants and transmission grids, but microgrids are self-sufficient.

Batteries are the weak link for wearable and implantable devices. But what if you could harvest energy from the heat, sweat or vibrations of the wearer?

Silicon Valley startup Sakuu has developed a 3D-printing platform that it says can mass produce solid-state batteries, in any shape and size
