Members of the Argonne-Northwestern Solar Energy Research (ANSER) Center have developed an experiential learning program and startup company to teach younger generations about the shift towards a more sustainable future.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Community Impact | Northwestern UniversityA 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.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityA new computational model could potentially boost efficiencies and profits in natural gas production by better predicting previously hidden fracture mechanics while accurately accounting for the known amounts of gas released during the process.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Conservation/Efficiency | Northwestern UniversityNorthwestern engineers are tackling energy efficiency issues from multiple fronts.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Conservation/Efficiency | Northwestern UniversityA Northwestern University research team has found ways to stabilize a new battery with a record-high charge capacity, which could pave the way for less expensive, longer-lasting batteries for electric vehicles.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Storage/Distribution | Northwestern UniversityResearchers are developing artificial photosynthesis to produce liquid fuels using solar energy.
University Research | Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityImagine Alexander Graham Bell’s reaction if someone handed him an iPhone and told him that the device in his hand was the same as the large, cone-mounted transmitter he invented and used to call Thomas Watson in 1876.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Storage/Distribution | University Research | Northwestern UniversityThere’s more to the story than OPEC. Plus, how fracking stands to change the market.
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | University Research | Northwestern UniversityMost commercial solar cells are made of silicon. A type of material called perovskite halides are a potential competitor of silicon, but they are sensitive to moisture and high temperatures. Exposure to either will quickly degrade these materials — rendering them useless. Researchers at the Argonne…
Research to Secure Our Energy Future | Energy Sources | Northwestern UniversityNorthwestern’s first-ever entry into the eighth U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon will be a student-designed 1,000-square-foot ultimate green home.
