The quest for unlimited and clean energy has been a long one, with over fifty-plus years in the endeavor to find new ways to combat climate change while also providing better energy solutions. One ...

Scientists could be wrong about dark energy. But they’re right about gravity, a new study suggests. Dark energy, the mysterious phenomenon that causes the expansion of the cosmos to accelerate, is ...

Energy Vault's EVu concept is a superstructure tower design, which improves unit economics and enables GESS integration into tall building. SOM will work on systems for actual projects with customer ...

In a Swiss valley, an unusual multi-armed crane lifts two 35-ton concrete blocks high into the air. The blocks delicately inch their way up the blue steel frame of the crane, where they hang suspended ...

For the global energy transition to succeed, the energy storage industry will have to develop cheap, efficient, and reliable ways to store renewable energy. Lithium-ion batteries currently dominate ...

Just because a mine has been exhausted of its ore, that doesn't necessarily mean it has no value. A 2023 study suggests that the shafts of such abandoned mines could serve as energy-storing gravity ...

Gravity never goes away—and that’s a powerful tool in the world of renewable energy, often marred by the ebb and flow of wind, tide, and sunshine. And this gravity-based energy isn’t a concept for the ...

As renewable energy generation grows, so does the need for new storage methods that can be used at times when the Sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. A Scottish company called Gravitricity ...

Developed by Chinese researchers, the novel hybrid storage technology may achieve an efficiency of over 80% and be applied in distribution and transmission grids. The proposed combination is ...

Could a cutting-edge technology that harnesses one of the universe's fundamental forces help solve our energy storage challenge? There is a riddle at the heart of the renewable energy revolution. When ...

Energy-momentum distribution remains a fundamental yet challenging aspect of theoretical physics. In general relativity, the localisation of gravitational energy is obscured by the equivalence ...
