It's known that electric vehicles could travel longer distances before needing to charge and more renewable energy could be saved for a rainy day if…
How energy-efficient is the production in German industry today? The Institute for Energy Efficiency in Production (EEP) at the University of Stuttgart is…
As reported in the research magazine Pictures of the Future, researchers in the 170 square meter lab can simulate almost any smart grid because the facility is…
In the future, accumulating pit water will still need to be pumped out of former hard coal mines in the Ruhr area. This way, RAG ensures the ground’s stability…
High-frequency power supply units are used in almost every electronic device such as television sets, computers and monitors. In conventional devices, three to…
The challenge to overcome these problems became a key area of current and future research activities. The aim of the e-balance EU project is to improve the…
The intention is to develop offshore wind energy in the German parts of the North and Baltic seas in an environmentally compatible manner. In order to reduce…
There is a strong trend among cities to become smarter in order to solve the upcoming challenges, e.g. aging society, need for energy savings or maintaining…
Researchers from the University of Houston have found a catalyst that can quickly generate hydrogen from water using sunlight, potentially creating a clean and…
Researchers are developing a new kind of geothermal power plant that will lock away unwanted carbon dioxide (CO2) underground – and use it as a tool to boost…
Called a near broken-gap tunnel field effect transistor (TFET), the new device uses the quantum mechanical tunneling of electrons through an ultrathin energy…
A method of assessing the stability of large-scale power grids in real time could bring the world closer to its goal of producing and utilizing a smart grid….
The current comes from essentially the same source as that tiny spark that jumps from a fingertip to a doorknob when you walk across carpet on a cold, dry day….
Scientists in Lyon, a French city famed for its cuisine, have discovered a quick-cook recipe for copious volumes of hydrogen (H2).The breakthrough suggests a…
Through a process known as thermionic conversion, heat energy — such as light from the sun or heat from burned fossil fuels — can be converted into…
