A thousand times faster than conventional testing, an ion beam approach to qualifying materials for use in the cores of advanced nuclear reactors is advancing through stages of approval by the industry standards organization ASTM.

The solar cells in the large pilot plant are a full five metres high and consist of many mirrors that are angled towards the solar cells to concentrate sunlight.

A free digital tool from the University of Alaska Fairbanks gives users a comprehensive look at energy systems in Alaska’s microgrid communities.

For the first time, scientists have used ultraviolet (UV) light, a low-cost and readily available energy source, to successfully synthesise more sustainable and recyclable polymer materials.

A growing proportion of the UK’s energy infrastructure is located at sea, in the form of oil and gas platforms and offshore wind farms along with the connecting cables and pipelines.

Flue gas is exhausted from home furnaces, fireplaces and even industrial plants, and it carries polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.

Solar panels and wind turbines increasingly dot the landscape, but the future of clean energy may well depend on how smoothly we burn hydrogen.

Solar panels on bodies of water in the northeastern U.S. might generate renewable energy but could also carry risks for birds, especially water birds.

Green hydrogen produced using solar and wind power would be cheaper to produce at more southerly latitudes than in the Nordic region. 

Many people are optimistic about ammonia’s potential as an energy source and carrier of hydrogen, and though large-scale adoption would require major changes to the way it is currently manufactured, ammonia does have a number of advantages.
