MIT engineers propose a new “local electricity market” to tap into the power potential of homeowners’ grid-edge devices.

If every car was electric, every single power station in the UK could be devoted entirely to powering them and it still wouldn’t be enough.

Researchers developed a scalable, low-cost device that can generate high-power terahertz waves on a chip, without bulky silicon lenses.

A new MIT study identifies steps that can lower not only emissions, but also costs, across the combined electric power and natural gas industries that now supply heating fuels.

Refugees have launched shops, mobile phone charging stations – even cinemas.

Fusion’s future depends on decoding plasma’s mysteries. Simulations can help keep research on track and reveal more efficient ways to generate fusion energy.

Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source.

Discovering new materials could drive forward areas such as green technology and advanced electronics.

Offshore wind power brings more than local, clean energy. It provides jobs, encourages innovation and boosts economic growth as supply chains develop.

In a report on the feasibility of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, physicists say these technologies are “not a magic bullet, but also not a no-go.”
