An online model enables users to calculate the least-cost strategy for a specific regional grid under various assumptions; outcomes vary widely from region to region.

The work will help researchers tune surface properties of perovskites, a promising alternative and supplement to silicon, for more efficient photovoltaics.

2023 Global Change Outlook from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change quantifies benefits of policies that cap global warming at 1.5 C.

The molecules, known as acenes, could be useful as organic light-emitting diodes or solar cells, among other possible applications.

Conventional systems for producing hydrogen depend on fossil fuels, but the new system uses only solar energy.

A new study finds system deployment processes have been slow to improve over time — but must be addressed to lower clean energy costs in the future.

Made of cement, carbon black, and water, the device could provide cheap and scalable energy storage for renewable energy sources.

A collaboration between MIT and Miami-Dade County has students working with city planning officials to understand why people wait patiently for a bus — and why they bail.

The device emits a stream of single photos at room temperature and could provide a basis for optical quantum computers.

Researchers develop a scalable fabrication technique to produce ultrathin, lightweight solar cells that can be seamlessly added to any surface.
