A technique for synthesizing many “white graphene” nanotubes at a time paves the way for stronger, heat-resistant composites, and membranes for renewable energy.

A study of real-world disasters shows home solar and storage could keep the lights on and the air conditioner running during many outages, but not all.

A new field study reveals a previously unobserved fluid dynamic process that is key to assessing impact of deep-sea mining operations.

MIT researchers find that changing the pH of a system solves a decades-old problem.

Made from inexpensive, abundant materials, an aluminum-sulfur battery could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources.

Sometimes wind and solar power produce more electricity than the local grid can handle. Better energy storage and transmission could move extra energy to where it’s needed instead of shutting it off.

MIT Energy Initiative report supports energy storage paired with renewable energy to achieve clean energy grids.

More than a third of power plants applying to connect to a US grid are hybrids that pair wind or solar with battery storage.

The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say.

Power flowing both ways across the border offers a pathway to clean electricity in 2050.
