The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is transforming transportation and opening new possibilities for reusing their batteries beyond their initial purpose in vehicles.
Scientists all over the world are exploring the possibilities afforded by the human body as a source of electricity to power portable electronic devices.
Sweden is deploying a new e-road network that will allow electric cars to charge their batteries while on the move.
Electronic devices long ago dispensed with cables transmitting information. Now, their power supply could follow the same path.
Among the ever-increasing features of smart buildings, a new technology could prove to be one of the biggest advances yet: a high precision software to measure energy consumption.
Biomimicry, the term that describes technology inspired by Nature, was coined in the mid-twentieth century. Today, that approach makes it possible to create energy-saving solutions.
The wings of a black butterfly hold the key to double the efficiency of the current solar panels.
It has been struggling for decades to find commercial viability, but the latest advancements in nanotechnology could spell the beginning of a new era for blue energy, also known as osmotic power.

Solar thermal energy, also called solar thermal power or thermoelectric energy, is a renewable energy that uses the heat of the sun to produce clean electricity on a large scale. Like photovoltaic energy, which uses light energy from the sun captured by solar cells, solar thermal technology uses the sun's heat to warm a fluid, produce steam, and generate electricity in a conventional thermal process. There are also several technologies used to produce thermal energy: parabolic trough and central tower, primarily.
