Researchers at Stanford are making transparent battery electrodes that could power future gadgets.
Solar energy has enormous long-term potential as a large-scale, carbon-neutral source of power. MIT faculty and students share how their research is leading the way for scale-up of new technologies for solar capture, conversion and storage.
Amidst a perfect storm battering funding for renewable energy companies, Aaron Fyke, LGO ’02, was able to model a grid-level energy storage system that would satisfy risk-averse customers by leveraging the cheapest, densest materials and a proven technology. The company Fyke founded, ...
Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Jeffrey Grossman explores new possibilities in topics from molecules to rooftop solar panels. Read more about Grossman's work at http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/profile-grossman-0126.html
Speakers: MIT Prof. John Kassakian, MIT Sloan Prof. Dick SchmalenseeWhat key technologies will drive the evolution of the grid in the coming decades?What state & federal policies are necessary for efficient development & deployment?Our current electric grid is ...
A new study by researchers at MIT shows that there is enough capacity in deep saline aquifers in the United States to store at least a century's worth of carbon dioxide emissions from the nation's coal-fired powerplants.

This talk was presented on April 14, 2009 as part of the MITEI Seminar Series. Abstract: To address the challenges of energy security and climate change, it is becoming increasingly clear that "business as usual" traditional approaches to decarbonize the energy supply ...
A team of MIT students has been working on testing a rapid-recharging system that could help to change public perceptions about electric vehicles and their practicality. They have already done extensive testing of the system with an individual battery cell and with a motorcycle they converted ...
The MIT Energy Conference frames conversation and informs debate on the most pressing global energy issues and opportunities. Each year, it brings together current and future leaders in energy technology, policy and business to participate in stimulating discussions. ...
