A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage ...

Energy density tends to be low, because only so much battery material can be dissolved in a liquid before it starts to settle at the bottom of the tank, making it useless. This low density tends to ...

Energy materials can be categorized based on their function—whether for energy storage, conversion, or generation—or by their specific applications and technologies. Here, we explore energy materials ...

In most buildings, windows remain the most vulnerable part of the structure when it comes to energy loss. Worldwide, ...

Scientists have recently proposed a workflow that can dramatically accelerate the search for novel materials with improved properties. They demonstrated the power of the approach by identifying more ...

A recent assessment of material flows for various resins indicates a need for significant improvement in recovery and end-of-life processes to ensure a truly circular economy. The graphic featured has ...
