A detailed MIT analysis identifies some promising options but also raises unexpected concerns.

New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity.

With technology developed at MIT, 6K is helping to bring critical materials production back to the U.S. without toxic byproducts.

A new family of integrated rock salt-polyanion cathodes opens door to low-cost, high-energy storage.

These zinc-air batteries, smaller than a grain of sand, could help miniscule robots sense and respond to their environment.

The grants fund studies of green hydrogen production, fetal health-sensing fabric, basalt architecture, and shark-based ocean monitoring.

MIT chemists developed a battery cathode based on organic materials, which could reduce the EV industry’s reliance on scarce metals.

In a first, researchers have observed how lithium ions flow through a battery interface, which could help engineers optimize the material’s design.

The findings, based on a single electrochemical process, could help cut emissions from the hardest-to-decarbonize industries, such as steel and cement.

Careful planning of charging station placement could lessen or eliminate the need for new power plants, a new study shows.
