Korean scientists have designed a liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology that reportedly overcomes the major limitation of LAES systems – their relatively low round-trip efficiency. The novel ...

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The tricky thing about generating electricity is that for the most part, you pretty much have to use it or lose it.

NASA’s Glenn Research Center developed a new flywheel-based mechanical battery system that redefined energy storage and spacecraft orientation. This innovative approach demonstrated the potential of ...

A research group from China’s Northeast Electric Power University has proposed a novel advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) system. The proposed system utilizes a heavy load, an ...

As renewables like wind and solar grow, storing energy for months—not just hours—is vital to ensure reliable grid power. Traditional lithium-ion and pumped hydro storage fall short in affordability, ...

A scientist in safety glasses, a blue lab coat, and gloves holds a measuring device and stands in front of a large cube fitted with polyvinyl chloride pipes and flexible tubes. At a facility in ...
