Buildings are responsible for consuming ~40% of all generated energy globally, much of which is wasted in heating and cooling the building interior. Buildings commonly lack the ability to passively maintain the temperature needed for a comfortable indoor environment

Electricity is crucial to modern life. We rely on being able to plug devices in to the outlet in the wall, flipping a switch, and things working without a problem. But it is not that simple, the power grid is actually something of a balancing act.

Please share. Calling all bog lovers and peat aficionados - please drop a thumbs up or comment on this talk, and show TEDx why bogs are the best. My great hope is that we can drum up more bog champions in this world. With love and appreciation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWt9...

Agami Zero won the 2025 Lab Venture Challenge (part of Lab Venture Partners) with an innovation to make producing Hydrogen Fuels from renewable energy more efficient! We caught up with the team to learn a little more. agamizero.com

Interesting article on the promise of perovskite materials as next-generation photovoltaics: www.nature.com/articles/d42...

Interesting article that imagines the really cool things we could do with abundant clean energy: www.vox.com/climate/4703...

Just out in Nature Physics, this collaborative report involving RASEI Fellow Ross Larsen explores how electrons move easily in some materials that lack a regular crystal structure. Important information to better understand how to make more efficient displays, electronic devices, and solar cells.

This year we held the fourth in the Nozik Lecture Series, with Sir Richard Friend joining us from the University of Cambridge in the UK. www.colorado.edu/rasei/nozik-...

First real snow of the season in Boulder www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whem...

Interested in doing research with RASEI? We are carrying out a faculty search for those ready to explore how we can best use energy. We are looking for those interested in investigating energy-efficient computing or materials circularity.

Congratulations to the six RASEI Fellows featured in the 2025 Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers class! The high impact work being done on renewable energy and sustainability are having significant impacts in the scientific community! www.colorado.edu/researchinno...

Two new data centers in Silicon Valley have been built but can’t begin processing information: The equipment that would supply them with electricity isn’t available: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Great to celebrate a year of research, learning, and growing with Jack's Solar Garden this weekend. The team there has been busy showing all the ways that Agrivoltaics can benefit farmers, communities, and the land itself. www.jackssolargarden.com

EV tax credits are coming to an end very soon. RASEI Fellow Stephanie Weber, whose research explores EV adoption and impacts on environment and communities explains why these credits were introduced, whats at stake, & strategies for moving forward. Check it out here www.colorado.edu/rasei/2025/0...

🔆 10 weeks. 9 students. 1 global mission. Our first NSF #IRES cohort just wrapped up an amazing summer in Berlin HZB @humboldtuni.bsky.social , advancing #perovskite #solarcell research & building global connections in the lab. 🌍 www.colorado.edu/rasei/2025/0...

This interesting insight from RMI shows with a single figure shows how renewables vs fossil has changed in the last 10 years. >90% of renewable projects are cheaper to build. Affordability is going to be a central driving force to move to renewable-plus-storage: rmi.org/affordabilit...

The majority of people want more to be done about the climate crisis. This interesting project is asking for feedback from the population about why they care. Pass it along! www.theguardian.com/environment/...

RASEI is excited to announce a new fellow! Prof. Kim See, a leading materials scientist who is developing innovative ways to enhance the performance of tomorrows sustainable batteries will be joining CU Boulder as a RASEI fellow & ChBE faculty in August of 2026: www.colorado.edu/rasei/2025/0...

The path we are on with plastics is unsustainable. We have ways to chemically recycle plastics that could mean we would not need to use any new oil, instead using waste in landfills as the feedstock. Less impact on human health and cleaning up the environment.

Just out last week, with RASEI Fellow Merrit Turetsky. New research from Alaska shows that changes in plant communities can signal early permafrost thaw—well before dramatic ground collapse happens. doi.org/10.1029/2024...
