Eyeing Steel Slag to Store Renewable Energy
Researchers at Penn State have found that steel slags — a rock-like waste byproduct of the steelmaking process — may potentially serve as a low-cost, heat storage candidate for TES applications.

More Energy, Same Weight: Fraunhofer ISE Optimizes Battery Cells
Together with partners from research and industry, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE has modified the structure of battery electrodes so that the battery cells can store 10 to 15 percent more energy at the same weight. They achieved this by more than tripling the coating thickness of
