Plants obtain their energy from the sun. Other beings rely on eating to survive. Yet how does the energy flow inside ecosystems function and are there differences between ecosystems with many species ...

Hydropower is often described as a cornerstone of the global energy transition because of its ability to provide reliable, cost-efficient power and flexibility to balance variable sources such as ...

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications. A commonplace chemical used in water treatment facilities has been repurposed for large-scale energy storage ...

Flow-style batteries are demonstrating the potential to dramatically cut the cost of energy storage. A rapid prototyping and test system developed by Pacific Northwest National Labs uses a ...

A basic rule in our lives is that if energy can flow in one direction, then it can also flow in the reverse direction. For example, if you open a window and yell at someone outside, you also can hear ...

A fascinating aspect of nature-inspired engineering is that even simple observations can lead to remarkable discoveries. A simple observation in a Virginia Tech lab of Professor Jonathan Boreyko has ...
