The start of a new battery materials library could pave the way for future AI models to help scientists design sodium-ion batteries that charge faster, last longer and store more energy, according to new research from the University of Surrey.

The arrival of cooler weather following a summer of heat waves is a timely reminder that the U.K. electricity system must be resilient to the effects of temperature extremes at both ends of the thermometer.

A research team led by Dr. Sun-Mi Hwang from the Clean Air Research Laboratory at the Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has developed catalysts as an all-in-one solution to address exhaust emissions from ammonia-fueled ships. This technology can simultaneously and cost-effectively remove various greenhouse gases from ammonia combustion and is expected to contribute to achieving carbon neutrality in the maritime industry.

A battery system installed in a Buffalo, New York, apartment building will store excess energy when it's plentiful and power the building when the grid is strained and electricity is costly. The manufacturer and state officials hope it will show that larger batteries can safely operate where people live and work.
