A new study looks at how the global energy mix could change over the next 20 years.

Researchers at EPFL have developed a reactor system and an analysis method that has allowed them to observe the real-time production of synthetic natural gas from CO2 and H2 for the first time.

Chemists have found a new use for the waste product of nuclear power - transforming an unused stockpile into a versatile compound which could be used to create valuable commodity chemicals as well as new energy sources.

Scientists have long known that platinum is by far the best catalyst for splitting water molecules to produce hydrogen gas.

A team of researchers at Osaka University has investigated a new method for generating nuclear fusion power, showing that the relativistic effect of ultra-intense laser light improves upon current “fast ignition” methods in laser-fusion research to heat the fuel long enough to generate electrical power. 

In the quest to make buildings more energy efficient, windows present a particularly difficult problem.

Minjie Chen, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, and his team are building a family of devices to dramatically reduce power consumption at the gigantic data centers that serve as the backbone of internet services and cloud computing.

Research scientists can now predict the threshold at which an oil reservoir will produce sand – and may collapse.

The latest issue of The Takeaway explores the financial implications of coal-to-gas fuel switching in U.S. power plants.

Suitable geological formations exist on Earth to easily store enough carbon dioxide to meet a global goal of capturing and storing sufficient C02 to provide 13 percent of worldwide emissions cuts by 2050, according to a new study.
