Providing power for essential electronic and electrical devices in emerging countries is challenging.

The progress to mine electrification is rapid due to health and emissions responsibilities and regulations.

Researchers have successfully developed a high-efficiency large-area organic solution processable solar cell by controlling the speed at which the solution of raw materials for solar cells became solidified after being coated.

Wind power has a major place in grid electricity production because very large units are used that are twice as efficient as the small units we used to see on houses, roadwork signs and so on.

InfinityWEC is a modular and scalable wave energy conversion system that is capable of capturing and converting wave energy to electricity in a highly effective and cost-efficient manner. Compared to offshore wind power, InfinityWEC is estimated to produce a smooth and predictable power output, 10X more electricity per used sea area with virtually no visual impact from shore.

PowerCell Sweden AB has signed a Nordic cooperation agreement with Soltech Group regarding a joint development of stationary energy solutions based on the two companies' products within fuel cells and solar energy.

A solar powered car using igus plain bearings has raced its way across more than 1,800 miles of Australian desert - helping Team Sonnenwagen win sixth place in the World Solar Challenge 2020.

Well, not quite everything. Nonetheless, over the next 15 years the rather rapid oblivion of the steam train or the fax machine will look mild compared to the impact of many other things peaking, sometimes in unison.

Toyota and Honda will create a mobile power generation/output system, Moving e, that consists of a fuel cell bus that can carry a large amount of hydrogen, portable external power output devices and portable batteries, and will begin demonstration testing of the system's ability to deliver electricity anytime and anywhere.

A new type of thermal storage material, housed in blocks like LEGO, could see coal-fired power stations converted to run entirely fossil-fuel free.

Innovators from Purdue University hope their new technology can help transform paper sheets from a notebook into a music player interface and make food packaging interactive.

The electricity grid is undergoing its first evolution since the invention of the power transmission system, and energy storage devices, particularly mechanical energy storage devices, will play a solid role in this evolution.

Social Energy has won the first ever fully domestic contract with National Grid Electricity System Operator to supply week-ahead Firm Frequency Response, following the results of a recent trial weekly auction.

ElectroRoute has confirmed it has entered into an agreement to provide trading solutions to the 200MW battery portfolio being developed by leading Korean firm Hanwha Energy Corporation and Lumcloon Energy Limited.

Facebook and Alphabet, parent of Google, are among the small number of companies with almost limitless money, some of which they spend on heroic new products few other can fund. Most fail.
