To improve fuel cell efficiency, Dr. Umit Koylu looks to the trees outside his office

$2.6 million awarded to research collaboration led by University of Wisconsin-Madison

Sunlight makes the new “aqueous solar flow” battery 20 percent more efficient than today’s lithium-iodine batteries.

Using a hybrid silica sol-gel material and self-assembled monolayers of a common fatty acid, researchers have developed a new capacitor dielectric material that provides an electrical energy storage capacity rivaling certain batteries, with both a high energy density and high power density.

The humble butterfly could hold the key to unlocking new techniques to make solar energy cheaper and more efficient

Innovative technology uses a mixture of water and ionic liquids

We ask a lot of the land: feed the world with crops, power the world with bioenergy, retain nutrients so they don’t pollute our water and air. To help landscapes answer these high demands, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are designing ways to improve—and hopefully optimize—land use.
