Our society has a love affair with plastic. To take our relationship to the next level — happily ever after in a waste-free future — the path is circular.

A team of UCR electrical engineers and material scientists demonstrated a research breakthrough that may result in wide-ranging advancements in electrical, optical, and computer technologies.

Organic solar cells have a lot of potential for sustainable energy applications. However, photovoltaic modules consisting of organic semiconductors do not retain their efficiency under sunlight for long enough for real-world applications.

Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are a promising solution to the contemporary problem of the impending global energy crisis. SOFCs show high efficiency, lower emissions, and have low operating costs, making them an ideal power source for a fossil fuel-free society.

Scrap aluminum can now be collected and transformed directly into new vehicle parts using an innovative process being developed by the automotive industry, in particular for electric vehicles.

Solar power technologies, which employ solar cells to turn sunlight into electricity or storable fuels, are getting popular in a world seeking alternatives to fossil fuels for energy.

Australia will need to triple the National Electricity Market’s power capacity by 2030 to be on track for net zero by 2050 – requiring a rapid rollout of wind and solar power, transmission, storage, electric vehicles, and heat pumps as we replace our coal fleet.

Responding to the increasing demand for sustainable energy research, IOP Publishing is launching a new open access (OA) environmental research journal.

Given its resemblance to a satellite dish or other telecommunications equipment, a parabolic dish on the EPFL campus is easily missed. The unique feature of this dish is that it functions like an artificial tree.

After a new analysis of an old catalytic process, a significant ingredient in manufacturing sneaker soles and car tires could be made sustainably.
