When the sun goes down, solar panels stop working. This is the fundamental hurdle of renewable energy: how to save the sun's ...

The modern world runs on chemicals and fuels that require a huge amount of energy to produce: Industrial chemical separation ...

AI can help engineers navigate thousands of decisions each shift, including constant energy, emissions, and cost trade-offs ...

MXene materials are promising candidates for a new energy storage technology. However, the processes by which the charge ...

Scientists have observed so-called 'roaming' chemical reactions, those that at certain points move away from the lowest minimum energy 'path of least resistance', in highly excited energy states for ...

In the future, we could fuel the world with sunlight and water – using sunlight to derive hydrogen fuel from H2O. Currently, most hydrogen that’s used as feedstock and fuel is derived from natural gas ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.

Chemical engineers develop problem-solving skills, with a strong foundation in science, engineering, and mathematics that touch every aspect of our lives–from smaller, faster computer chips to ...
