The tool, called Renewables.ninja, aims to make the task of predicting renewable output easier for both academics and industry

Bubble-wrapped structure requires no mirrors or lenses to focus the sun’s heat

Plopped into water, a tiny device triggers the formation of chemicals that kill microbes in minutes

New-generation lateral solar cells promise to be the next big thing for compact devices

While some of today’s solar cells use a blend of cadmium and tellurium to convert light into electricity, adding the optimum amount of selenium in the right places could help increase efficiency

Unlike conventional solar cells, which convert sunlight into electricity that must be stored in heavy batteries, the new device essentially does the work of plants, converting atmospheric carbon dioxide into fuel

Nanoscale images by Berkeley Lab researchers yield surprise that could push efficiency to 31 percent

While the world has shown an improvement from current policy and no-policy scenarios, it still falls short of the 2C target, not to mention the hopeful goal of 1.5C warming

Technique allows sharper detail—and more information—with near infrared light

College of Engineering faculty member renews research agreement with California-based startup
