The use of nickel, which the researchers describe as an “earth-abundant” resource, could make the process of water splitting more feasible as a means to develop clean hydrogen as an energy source from water

The rising price of lithium has spurred a search for alternatives for batteries

According to a 2015 Gallup poll, 79 percent of Americans want the US to put more emphasis on developing solar power

Recently developed ultra-low-friction sliding contact mechanism uses chilled water to remove heat from a key component of a next-generation collider

“We are taking the problem and trying to turn it into a solution,” scientist says

Research team combines X-ray source at Berkeley Lab with other tools

“We may have stumbled onto the next green revolution,” said lead author of recent study

Berkeley Lab method could help scientists learn new ways to boost photovoltaic efficiency

“Our goal is not just to make safer batteries, but also to increase energy capacity," lead researcher says

The breakthrough would essentially turn jackets and other clothing into wearable, solar-powered batteries that never need to be plugged in

Bacteria can convert mercury, which occurs naturally in the soil, to methylmercury when the land is flooded, such as when dams are built for hydroelectric power generation

Scientists fabricated isotropic, near-net-shape, neodymium-iron-boron bonded magnets at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine
