For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first ...

The agency will make funding available to research teams looking to solve the scientific challenges underpinning next-generation energy technologies.

Are you ready to be part of the next wave of energy innovators? The nuclear energy science certificate at the University of Wyoming offers a unique opportunity to dive deep into one of the most ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

PNW scientists have made a flexible “fabric” that converts body heat into electricity. Heat is energy, and most of the heat we produce — from our bodies, kitchens and cars — just dissipates into the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers found a way to harness the fundamental properties of triboelectrification, which most people think of it as static electricity, to ...

Four Stanford graduate students — Akshay Rao Ph.D. ’26, Edward Apraku Ph.D. ’26, Jimin Zhou Ph.D. ’26 and Juliet Nwagwu Ume-Ezeoke Ph.D. ’26 — were named Siebel Scholars in recognition of their ...

Scientific discovery rarely arrives in a single, dramatic moment. It usually emerges through careful experiments, revised equations, unexpected field observations, and years of incremental progress.

Those who managed to stay awake in science class may recall learning about piezoelectricity, where materials like quartz generate electricity when put under pressure. This is because the crystals that ...
