A new model suggests that reaching this target will require the installation of highly energy-efficient building technologies, new operational approaches, and electrification of building systems that consume fossil fuels directly, alongside increases in the share of electricity generated from renewable energy sources.

Wind energy continues to capture larger shares of the electricity market; larger turbines and better maintenance are on the horizon.

An international team of scientists has worked out a way to improve energy storage devices called supercapacitors, by designing a new class of detergents chemically related to laxatives.

MIT researchers quantify cost targets for storage technologies to enable solar and wind energy with storage to reach competitiveness with other on-demand energy sources.

Engineers report advancements in radiative cooling in a new study in Nature Sustainability

The findings have the potential to greatly advance the design of materials - made up of a range of different alloys - that are used to make products in several different industry sectors.

The new innovation outlines two aqueous flow batteries, also known as redox flow batteries, which use chromium and organic binding agents to achieve exceptional voltage and high efficiencies.

Sub-Saharan Africa remains the region with the largest electricity access deficit in the world.

The largest changes in demand are due to electricity needed for cooling, and occur in the industry and service sectors of the economy.

For the first time, scientists have applied a magnetic field that directly enhanced the production of hydrogen via water splitting.
