Manufacturing partner, Horien, in Switzerland has so far been producing sodium metal chloride batteries in factories like this, but will also take on production of Inlyte's sodium-iron batteriesInlyte EnergyFor years, lithium-ion batteries have been the go-to solution for long-term energy storage, but their production and maintenance costs remain high. A California-based startup, Inlyte, aims...
Credit: PixabayA gravity battery generates electricity by releasing a heavy load, converting potential energy into power when grid demand is high. When surplus energy is available, the system lifts the load back up for future use.A common example is pumped-storage hydroelectric systems, where water flows downhill to generate power and is pumped back up...

Power Roll's solar film is inching closer to becoming cheap to produce, and more efficient at generating energy as wellPower Roll / The University of SheffieldSince 2012, UK-based Power Roll has been developing a cost-effective way to print solar film for clean energy generation. Now, the company has taken a major step toward large-scale...
Plasma sparks naturally (left) and ultrasound-guided (right)Josu IrisarriElectricity is naturally unpredictable, typically requiring wires and circuits for control. However, researchers in Europe and Canada have successfully directed sparks through open air and around obstacles using ultrasound waves.In open air, electricity naturally spreads in unpredictable directions—much like a lightning bolt. Its path is influenced by...
