Recycling lithium-ion batteries - whether they're the large ones in your EVs or the small ones in your gadgets - is no easy task, as it requires specialized processes, high heat, and a range of chemicals to achieve. Owing to the complexity and costs ...

It seems that the United States is keen to get in on the nuclear renaissance as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has signed an agreement with Houston-based ENTRA1 Energy to build enough modular nuclear reactors to generate 6 GW of power.

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be made from nuclear waste from fission reactors.

A decades-old scientific controversy and a small bench-top apparatus at the University of British Columbia (UBC) could be the key to more efficient fusion reactors by increasing the chances of a nuclear reaction occurring.

German manufacturer SkyWind has just become the first company to receive full certification for its compact wind turbine, the NG. The small but mighty wind spinners are easy to install atop home rooftops to supplement grid power with clean energy.

Finland has inaugurated an industrial-scale sand battery this week in the southern town of Pornainen, where it'll take over heating duties from an old woodchip power plant for the municipality. It's set to reduce carbon emissions from the local ...

When it comes to solar power, solar cells and panels tend to get all the attention. But there's a different kind of solar power generator known as a STEG, and researchers have just figured out a way to improve its efficiency by a factor of 15.
