What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...

If we asked you to think of a device that converts a chemical reaction into electricity, you’d probably say we were thinking of a battery. That’s true, but there is another device that does this that ...

A sensor buried in a farm field has two ways to stay powered. A battery that will die. Or a solar panel that will get caked ...

Researchers have developed a new catalyst design capable of pushing the projected fuel cell catalyst lifespans to 200,000 hours. The research marks a significant step toward the widespread adoption of ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...
