The Batteries Of Tomorrow Are In The Laboratories Of Today
Better batteries are under development at Cornell and Harvard as researchers rush to solve the problem of dendrites.

Harvard Spinoff Lobs Solid State Battery Bomb At Fossil Fuels
Expectations are high for a new solid state battery from Adden Energy, based on technology developed at Harvard University.
California Energy Commission Proposal Makes Important Climate Progress, But Falls Short of Widely Supported All-Electric…
Proposal will reduce, but not fully eliminate, fossil fuel pollution from new buildings throughout the state
Small Particulates From Burning Fossil Fuels Kills 8.7 Million People Each Year
The latest research shows nearly 9 million people die every year as the result of breathing fine particulate matter from burning fossil fuels.
Air Pollution: Here For All Seasons?
An email in my inbox today proclaimed, “it’s September and we’re heading into pollution season in many regions.” I was taken aback. Does pollution have a season? Of course, there is seasonal variability to certain pollutants but, unfortunately, pollution lives with us in and outside our homes in every season.
Harvard Profs Plan Geoengineering Experiment, Igniting Ethics Debate
Researchers at Harvard plan a geoengineering experiment injecting calcium carbonate dust high over the Southwestern US to see if it can help lower the temperature of the air below.
The Case For Solar Endowments
University and college endowments in the U.S. looking for strong, sustainable revenue streams would do well to embrace on-site solar generation, and the solar industry would thrive if it could forge the partnership. Solar installations would deliver stronger and more reliable returns than current investments, and create many opportunities, including enhanced fundraising, positive press, and community appeal to current and prospective students
New Harvard Study Links COVID Deaths & Air Pollution — Interview With Dr. Francesca Dominici
A new study was made public this week that sheds light on the connection between COVID-19 health impacts and air pollution. I sat down (virtually of course) with Dr. Francesca Dominici, author and Director of the Data Science Initiative at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, to learn more about the study’s findings, which focused on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and what researchers plan to do next to further our understanding of air pollution’s impact on coronavirus health outcomes.
Harvard & Yale Students Disrupt “The Game” To Demand Climate Action
Harvard and Yale students disrupted the football game between the schools on Saturday to protest the lack of leadership on global warming by both administrations. How dare they think for themselves?
Harvard Study Shows Where Investments In Renewable Energy Can Be Most Effective
Sometimes, a study or report comes to such an obvious conclusion you wonder why the study needed to be done in the first place. Here’s an example. A new study shows that the best way to maximize the benefits of renewable energy per dollars invested is to install wind and solar farms where most of the electricity comes from burning coal — such as India — rather than a place where clean energy is already the norm — such as California.
