A novel design using pure platinum, graphene-protective layer and porous carbon support could enable fuel cells to power heavy-duty trucks reliably.

As global demand for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage surges, so does the need for affordable and sustainable battery technologies.

Two new studies suggest that devoting a small fraction of U.S. farmland to solar power would be a boon both for the energy system and for farmers themselves.

As farmers debate whether fields should be used for agriculture or solar panels, new research from Michigan State University says the answer could be both.

Energy is central to global sustainability and this Earth Day we highlight Waterloo's efforts on campus.

New work by a University of Alaska Fairbanks professor fills some gaps in knowledge about Earth’s resources of lithium, a critical element powering electronics and electric vehicles.

A new study found that electrifying the San Francisco Bay Area’s Caltrain commuter rail line reduced riders’ exposure to carcinogenic black carbon by an average of 89%.

When two materials come into contact, charged entities on their surfaces get a little nudge. 

Membranes packed with charge help overcome the current salinity limit, making it easier to crystallize ocean salts and harvest valuable minerals from desalination waste.

Even ancient builders knew how to maximize energy efficiency through rooflines.
