In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. 

Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust. 

A trove of lithium-rich brine exists underground in Bolivia. 

Stevens professor Philip Odonkor, an expert in energy technologies, uses AI tools to investigate the impact of extreme weather on solar-powered and electrified homes and uncover their unique vulnerabilities and develop insights on how they handle harsh conditions.

Why do plants transport energy so efficiently and quickly?

When hurricane-force winds whipped through Los Angeles County in early January 2025, the hills had ample fuels available to feed a wildland fire.

Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of energy. 

Turning environmental waste into useful chemical resources could solve many of the inevitable challenges of our growing amounts of discarded plastics, paper and food waste, according to new research. 

OK, we admit, we’re a long way from a carbon-free grid—but when we have one, what’s the most efficient way to use that energy to fly planes?

An international team of scientists has discovered a way to store and release volatile hydrogen using lignin-based jet fuel that could open new pathways for sustainable energy production.
