  • The promise of PRISMA for cutting compressed air costs

    The system charges up using cheaper off-peak electricity to create a store of cold liquid air that can then be discharged to provide compressed air.

  • Iron catalyst cuts fuel cell cost

    The iron-based catalyst could dramatically reduce the cost of hydrogen fuel cells.

  • Uptick to continue for US petroleum prices and production

    The Brent crude oil price is expected to remain above $100 per barrel for the remainder of 2022.

  • Piston-based pressure switches selection: Ensuring a rugged design

    A pressure switch is rugged if its design allows a stable switching response and long lifecycle under several conditions like pressure spikes, leaks, high temperature, chemical exposure, moisture, shock loads and vibration.

  • Video: Mine truck hauls with hydrogen

    The world’s largest hydrogen-powered mine haul truck can transport a 290 ton payload.

  • Video: A modular approach to EV charging infrastructure

    The system can be installed in any location to accelerate the deployment of public charging.

  • Video: Core overhaul completed for Advanced Test Reactor

    The sixth major core overhaul of the world’s most powerful materials test reactor has been completed.

  • A solar thermochemical route to hydrogen production

    The technology can be potentially more energy efficient than producing hydrogen via commonly used electrolysis methods.

  • DOE to bolster US battery manufacturing and supply chains

    The agency is allocating $3.1 billion in funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to strengthen domestic battery manufacturing and supply chains.

  • Watch how offshore wind farms can shelter coral reefs

    Surplus indigenous coral spawn, collected as it washes ashore, will be used to colonize offshore wind turbines structures.

  • This state to host the largest floating solar system in the US

    When fully operational in the fall of 2022, the 8.9 MW system will provide 95% of a water treatment facility's power needs.

  • First cables to earn Class 4 certification from UL

    The classification allows end users to take advantage of Digital Electricity cables to safely provide significant power across long distances.

  • A guide to SEI solar training programs

    Solar Energy International (SEI) offers online training as well as in-person workshops at its facilities in Paonia, Colorado.

  • Video: Winners of the 20th Annual Solar Decathlon

    The collegiate competition challenges students to design and construct zero energy buildings.

  • 10 reasons why nuclear energy represents the future

    Nuclear power has what it takes to address society’s future needs while being low-cost, safe and space-efficient.

  • Video: Concept vessel to cruise with and deliver nuclear power

    Potential deployment of zero-emission, battery-operated cruise ships takes a step closer to reality with a nuclear reactor-propelled vessel designed as a mobile charging station.

  • US battery storage installations hit new high

    For the first time, battery storage installations exceeded 2 GW in a single year.

  • PV energy in unlikely places

    On the water, during a camping trip or on a space mission. Photovoltaic systems are generating energy in new and unusual places.

  • Video: Restart of the world’s largest particle collider

    Two proton beams with an injection energy of 450 billion electronvolts were sent in opposite directions around the collider ring, marking the end of a three-year overhaul.

  • Universities to compete in EcoCAR EV Challenge

    Engineering teams from 15 universities will compete to advance clean transportation technology and accelerate the equitable transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
