Research in Energy Storage Could Help Speed Development of Renewable Energy

There's one major drawback to most proposed renewable-energy sources: their variability. The sun doesn't shine at night, the wind doesn't always blow, and tides, waves and currents fluctuate. That's why many researchers have been pursuing ways of storing the power generated by these sources so that it can be used when it's needed.

A Much More Efficient Way of Harvesting Electrical Power from Wasted Heat

In everything from computer processor chips to car engines to electric powerplants, the need to get rid of excess heat creates a major source of inefficiency. But new research points the way to a technology that might make it possible to harvest much of that wasted heat and turn it into usable electricity.
