RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT: Modular perovskite-BiVO4 artificial leaves towards syngas synthesis on a m2 scale

results demonstrate that thermal evaporation can contribute significantly towards solvent-free, scalable and reproducible manufacturing of perovskite-based artificial leaves

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT: Making Nuclear Competitive Again: Identifying the keys

Nuclear power was once considered cheap because of its very low fuel costs. That has not been the case in the West, since the end of the building spree in the 1980s, which was triggered by the reactor accident in the US at Three Mile Island.

BLOG - Maxwell Centre Innovation Seminar Series - How do we upgrade electricity networks infrastructure whilst keeping costs down?

Sotiris Georgiopoulos , Director of Distribution System Operator, UK Power Network , joined the organisation in 2005 as a graduate engineer.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - The road to net zero: why do UK consumers hesitate to buy electric cars?

To achieve the national target of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, the UK will have to transition from fossil fuel cars to greener alternative fuel vehicles.

BLOG - BEII conference: Delivering the Energy Transition: Pace Over Perfection

Students from the Cambridge University Energy Technology Society (CUETS) attended the British Institute of Energy Economics Conference ,

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT: Energy inefficiency & inability to downsize pose even bigger threat to low-income pensioners than loss of Winter Fuel Payments

UK Government’s policy to scrap Winter Fuel Payments could disproportionately affect low-income pensioners in England, new analysis suggests.

REPORT: The Future of critical minerals supply chains: risks, environmental impacts, and potential solutions

As technology evolves rapidly and the transition to clean energy accelerates, the world is increasingly relying on critical minerals for the future.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Soft, stretchy ‘jelly batteries’ inspired by electric eels

Researchers have developed soft, stretchable ‘jelly batteries’ that could be used for wearable devices

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Birds and fish threatened by mining for clean energy transition

Our increasing demand for metals and minerals is putting over four thousand vertebrate species at risk, with the raw materials needed for clean energy infrastructure often located in global biodiversity hotspots.
