WVU Researchers Receive $7.5 Million to Integrate Renewable Energy with the Power Grid

Integrating renewable energy with the power grid continues to be a big challenge for the electrical grid infrastructure in the United States. While the solution isn't simple, it's not impossible either, and researchers from West Virginia University have been competitively awarded $7.5 million from the United States Department of Energy to help solve a critical part of the problem.

Scientists Propose Specific Set of Targets for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

The world is not on track to achieve all the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, and more insight into how we can get back on track is urgently needed. An article by an international team of scientists proposes a more limited set of more easily measurable targets that can be used in scenario analysis for achieving all of the SDGs by the target date.

Increasing Solar Energy Plants Should be a Priority for Economic, Environmental Reasons, Says Expert

Solar energy is one of the most cost-effective ways to generate electricity, cheaper even than existing coal-fired power stations, says environmental and technology expert Professor Ravi Silva, Director of the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey. Increasing the amount of energy derived from solar power should therefore be a priority for economic reasons, as well as environmental.

Novel Synthesis Route to Obtain Co-Doped Anode Material for Seawater Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have taken the world by storm thanks to their remarkable properties. However, the scarcity and high cost of lithium has led researchers to look for alternative types of rechargeable batteries made using more abundant materials, such as sodium. One particularly promising type of sodium-based battery is seawater batteries (SWBs), which use seawater as the cathode.
