Energy Sources

Scientists at University at Buffalo are working to improve a process for using hydrogen fuel in a more efficient way.

A new era of growth in the field of perovskite solar cells began this month, with the publication of a paper that documents the maximum level of perovskite layer thickness that can be synthesized.

A team of researchers at Texas A&M University has created a synthetic material that will make solar energy a more cost-effective, efficient and reliable source of power.

New research highlights a previously underexplored consequence of wind energy farms: a wake effect from upwind wind farms that can reduce the energy production of their downwind neighbors.

Greenhouse gases and plastic waste are the targets of a USC chemistry startup. that is turning vegetable oil into renewable fuels and biodegradable plastic.

Harvard University researchers find that the transition to wind or solar power in the U.S. would require five to 20 times more land than previously thought, and, if such large-scale wind farms were built, would warm average surface temperatures over the continental U.S. by 0.24 degrees Celsius.

Michigan State University scientists have found a solution to enhance oil production that uses two species of marine algae and soil fungi.

“Underwater wind farms” could generate low-cost, renewable energy from turbines placed in sandy river bottoms, researchers have found.

A trucking facility about 13 miles northeast of the University of Pittsburgh is running on clean, renewable energy thanks in part to Pitt’s Swanson School of Engineering.

Researchers worked with the Detroit Zoo to convert animal and food waste into clean energy capable of powering some of the zoo’s operations.
