Nuclear fusion has taken a big step forward
Nuclear fusion is giving us good news achieving net energy gain for the first time. What is next for this promising energy source of the future?
-
EVs battery problem: where will they all go?
EVs increasing popularity is creating a problem: where will all the retired batteries go? Recycling is an option, although an expensive one; but new methods and interest from new battery recycling companies may have a solution.

Super porous material increases efficiency for carbon capture
A new super porous material designed by Australian researchers can capture large amounts of CO2 at record low energy cost. Additionally, what is the projection for CO2 emission for after the pandemic?
-
Is the internet hype helping Tesla win the EV race?
Tesla's increasing popularity may be due in part to internet hype but there are lots of reasons why they are winning the electric vehicle market.
-
What is new in solar?
There have been many changes in solar technology in the past years and though most advances seem like small improvements or a larger deployment on existing technologies, it is worth to note these changes.

Mr. Fusion: Closer to biogas than nuclear fusion
Back to the Future gave us Mr. Fusion. Is this home energy reactor feasible? Is it nuclear or not?
-
Is electric fracking the next big thing in oil and gas?
Electric fracking uses the excess natural gas from drilling sites to power turbines instead of diesel-powered engines. Producers can save a lot of money with this technology, but service suppliers are not excited about it.
-
Carbon capture and storage: our last resort?
Carbon capture and storage has gained relevance as an instrument for mitigating anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, principally CO2. New developments in Direct Air Capture could make it cheaper and help us slow down raising temperatures.

Batteries: supporting the energy transition and the EV revolution
Battery storage is allowing the energy revolution toward cleaner energies that are intermittent in nature and need backup. Not only that, but battery storage is also supporting the transition to electric vehicles.

Is fusion the answer to nuclear power’s bad reputation?
Nuclear fusion is the merging of small atoms into larger ones to release energy. Most nuclear reactors today use fission instead of fusion; and disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima have really left a mark on society. But is nuclear fusion the answer to nuclear power's bad rep?
