This Review discusses technology that uses phototropic bacteria for chemical synthesis

Technological and social factors can influence how well a technology can be adopted. This Perspective explores how research can inform approaches to increasing clean technology adoption

In this Tool of the Trade, Lulu Sun explains how tensile testing is important for new photovoltaic materials.

Lithium sulfur batteries have high energy densities that could be used for redox flow batteries for grid-scale storage.

Feedback loops can speed up or inhibit change. This comment explores the effect of these loops on clean technology adoption

Compressed air can be used to store energy: excess energy can be used to pump air into storage tanks, which can be released on demand to drive turbines to generate energy again. This Review explores advances in compressed air energy storage.

Magnesium is an attractive alternative material for batteries. This Review discusses research into improving electrolytes for this technology.

Electrified thermal energy storage can be used for long duration energy storage, making it potentially useful for power grid balancing and industrial electrification. This Review explores technological advances:
