Installing solar power at a home is a great way to reduce electricity bills, especially as the cost of solar panels and their associated electronics continue to plummet. Not every …read more Continue reading A Smarter Solar Water Heater
Researchers in Beijing have discovered a way to turn succulents into supercapacitors to help store energy. While previous research has found ways to store energy in plants, it often required …read more Continue reading Succulents into Supercapacitors
Once expensive and difficult to implement, renewable energy solutions like wind and solar are now often the cheapest options available for generating electricity for the grid. However, there are still …read more Continue reading Liquid Tin Could Be The Key To Cheap, Plentiful Grid Storage
You may have heard us here remarking in the past, that if we had a pound, dollar, or Euro for every miracle battery technology story we heard that was going …read more Continue reading Will Nickel-Hydrogen Cells Be The Energy Storage Holy Grail?
It’s a story we’ve heard so many times over the years: breathless reporting of a new scientific breakthrough that will deliver limitless power, energy storage, or whichever other of humanity’s …read more Continue reading MIT Crack The Concrete Capacitor
As society transitions toward renewable energy sources, energy storage inevitably comes to mind. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found one way to store renewable energy that …read more Continue reading AGES of Renewable Energy Storage
Turn the clock back a couple of decades, and the only time the average person would have given much thought to batteries was when the power would go out, and …read more Continue reading Battery Engineering Hack Chat Gets Charged Up
Humanity thus far has supplied most of its electricity needs by burning stuff, mostly very old stuff that burns great but is hard to replace. That stuff is getting increasingly …read more Continue reading Dancers Now Help Power Glasgow Nightclub
Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly popular. However, such energy can be wasted if an excess is available when it’s not yet needed. A particularly relevant example is solar power; solar panels provide most of their output during the day, …read more

According to Spectrum, several companies are poised to make a splash storing energy with gravity. That sounds fancy and high tech at first, but is it, really? Sure, we usually think of energy storage as some sort of battery, but there are many energy storage systems that use water falling, …read more
