The researchers, led by Jennifer L. Schaefer, professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, analyzed how magnesium-ion-conducting solid polymer electrolytes may work in two separate battery systems.
As important as emissions of the greenhouse gas methane are in the climate conversation, recently factoring prominently in the recent COP26 conference in…
MIT physicists and colleagues have demonstrated an exotic form of superconductivity in a new material the team synthesized only about a year ago.
The top international banking supervisory authority on Tuesday said lenders should account for climate risks when managing their business, suggesting a list of 18 "principles" to guide banks and national supervisors.
Abu Dhabi's national oil company announced Tuesday a $6 billion investment in crude oil drilling as it ramps up production capacity.
A planned seismic oil and gas exploration project by energy giant Shell off South Africa's Wild Coast region, poses a danger to marine wildlife, environmentalists say.
The Netherlands was shaken Tuesday by one of the strongest earthquakes yet near Europe's largest gas field, which is due to close in 2022 due to seismic activity caused by gas extraction.
Germany's energy regulator suspended the approval process for Russia's Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline on Tuesday, dealing another setback to the geopolitically sensitive project and causing Europe's sky-high gas prices to soar further.
After decades of inertial confinement fusion research, a record yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ) from fusion reactions was achieved in the laboratory for…
German energy company RWE said it would step up its investment in renewable energy on Monday, as the country's potential new government plans an earlier exit from coal.
The march towards fusion energy gain, required for commercial fusion energy, is not always visible.
Future fusion reactors have a conundrum: maintain a plasma core that is hotter than the surface of the sun without melting the walls that contain the plasma.
Ministers of the European Union reached a deal on Wednesday to pass new climate legislation aimed at reducing methane emissions, while imposing new import restrictions on foreign energy suppliers, including the United States.
Charged particle accelerators have been a central tool of basic physics research for almost a hundred years, perhaps most famously as "atom smashers" for understanding the elementary constituents of the universe.
For decades, scientists have been working to harness clean, renewable fusion energy, which occurs naturally in stars like our sun.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory have uncovered a key process…
