It’s trivially easy to be snared by hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to start solving the problems of hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to wave away a problem set of hydrogen for energy as not your concern. And then solve more of the problems for energy. And wave … [continued]
This must be an election year. The MAGAlomaniacs in the US House of Representatives have forced the US military to disconnect a battery energy storage system that went into service at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina just a year ago. The reason? The batteries in the energy … [continued]
Off-take agreement with NOVONIX advances Panasonic Energy’s commitment to carbon footprint reduction and resilient supply chain in North American Osaka, Japan — Panasonic Energy Co., Ltd., a Panasonic Group Company, today announced it has signed a binding off-take agreement with the leading battery materials and technology company NOVONIX Limited (“NOVONIX”; Queensland, Australia) … [continued]
Experts from Argonne and Fermilab celebrate the science behind The Marvels with a movie screening and panel discussion When Captain Marvel becomes quantum-entangled with two other superheroes, only science can save them, so experts from Argonne and Fermilab set out to untangle the real quantum physics and cosmology concepts behind the movie … [continued]
An Argonne team developing materials for solid-state batteries took an unexpected detour to investigate tiny short-circuits known as soft-shorts. Their insights will benefit battery researchers around the world. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have shed important new light on what the early signs of … [continued]
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, have developed an algorithm to predict electric grid stability using signals from pumped storage hydropower projects. The method provides critical situational awareness as the grid increasingly shifts to intermittent renewable power. Hydropower is a renewable energy source directly … [continued]
New tool presents precise, holistic picture of devices, materials Research led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Marti Checa and Liam Collins has pioneered a groundbreaking approach, described in the journal Nature Communications, toward understanding the behavior of an electric charge at the microscopic level. Their findings could be vital for improving efficiency, life … [continued]
When the Democrat-controlled US Congress and President Joe Biden extended the federal tax credit for electric vehicles a couple of years ago, essentially reviving it for companies like Tesla that had previously had tax credits for their buyers phased out, they addressed what has widely been seen as a major … [continued]
ARK Invest believes that capitalizing on disruptive innovation and developing technologies is an essential and viable investment strategy. Yet such an investment approach that looks to displace older technologies or to create new markets may not, in fact, produce robust results. Risks of investing in innovation include acknowledging its rapid … [continued]
NREL Power System Researcher Paul Denholm Shares What You Need To Know About the Reliability of the U.S. Grid and Why Renewable Energy Can Help Keep the Lights On This installment of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) Tell Me Something Grid series features Paul Denholm, senior research fellow of model engineering and … [continued]
