What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...

Engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries. Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could be ...

To some people in the automotive industry the fuel cell system seems like a missed opportunity. Although research into this field started at about the same time with that looking into battery electric ...

Not all hybrids work the same way—here’s a simple guide to the different types of hybrid powertrains and how they differ.

Whether it’s to keep the lights on after a natural disaster or just to avoid peak energy rates, more people than ever are adding battery energy storage to their home solar systems — but li-ion ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...

Researchers have developed a new catalyst design capable of pushing the projected fuel cell catalyst lifespans to 200,000 hours. The research marks a significant step toward the widespread adoption of ...

Electric vehicles are growing in popularity, but a handful of automakers continue to invest in fuel cell vehicles. Toyota is one of their biggest proponents and the company has released the first ...

Driving the Hyundai Xcient fuel-cell truck has become something of an annual ritual for me at ACT Expo. And this year was no different. On a bright and windy California afternoon I once again climbed ...
