Industrial waste heat could become a new power source as $100M backs projects that convert excess heat into electricity.

The Gallman project marks Hitachi Energy’s biggest single U.S. investment, with production slated to begin in 2029.

A new 6MW floating solar array in Ohio uses 12 acres of reservoir water to avoid taking farmland for solar.

A 128MW battery facility in Georgia can store solar power and release it during periods of higher electricity demand.

The US could quadruple its nuclear generating capacity by 2050.

HiTHIUM has unveiled a 4MWh sodium-ion system designed for 30 years, with full-scale production planned for 2027.

The device could smart robotics, wearable medical patches, and biocompatible sensors.

Researchers tuned a perovskite solar material specifically to harvest the weaker, narrower spectrum of indoor light.

To support upcoming reactors, X-energy is aggressively securing its domestic supply chain.

Unlike water-cooled traditional reactors, SEALER uses molten lead.

The “first-of-its-kind” molecular computer can execute simple multiplication, division, and addition.

The maneuver first appeared in the 1987 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “The Battle.”

The facility will strengthen domestic supplies of advanced battery materials.

A Utah energy lab could become the testing ground for NewHydrogen’s heat-driven approach to splitting water.

The sensor converts radiation hits into light and electrical signals to identify energy signatures of materials like uranium.

The massive machine is designed for underwater tunneling, with systems that support high-pressure cutter replacement and safer slurry discharge.

The controller continuously tracks circuit changes and updates operating parameters during the pulse.

Two brick-based batteries will supply extreme heat on demand.

Muonium is well suited for this experiment because of its neutral charge, as it won’t be affected by stray magnetic fields.

A $1.25M DOE contract will help scale eCOphite, a domestic graphite alternative designed for lithium-ion batteries.
