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.

While floating solar – the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water – is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

A next-generation vertical wind turbine is set to be put on trial south of Adelaide in a novel research collaboration between Flinders University and South Australian start-up company VAWT-X Energy.

Researchers analysed the ‘health’ of every vehicle on UK roads to provide a comprehensive analysis of survival rates for different powertrains.
