The Sodium Revolution: A New Era for Energy Storage

By Dick Weisinger

The limitations of lithium-ion batteries are becoming increasingly apparent. Enter sodium-ion batteries, a promising alternative that could revolutionize energy storage, particularly for residential solar systems and long-term grid storage applications. Sodium-ion batteries offer several advantages over their lithium counterparts. Sodium

Fusion Energy: A Leap Forward in Superconductivity

By Dick Weisinger

The quest for practical fusion energy, a clean and virtually limitless power source, has been a scientific dream for decades. Recent advances, particularly in high-temperature superconductivity, have brought us closer to making this dream a reality. At the forefront of

Fusion Energy: A Glimpse into the Future

By Dick Weisinger

The quest for fusion energy, the Holy Grail of clean power, has seen remarkable progress recently. MIT and Commonwealth Fusion Systems have designed a superconducting magnet that broke magnetic field strength records, paving the way for practical, commercial, carbon-free power. This advance

Water Batteries: A Solution to the Lithium-Ion Problem?

By Dick Weisinger

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere. They power our phones, laptops, electric vehicles, and even some grid-scale energy storage systems. They are popular because they can store a lot of energy in a small space and have a long lifespan. However, they

Space-Based Solar Power: Unlocking a Wireless Energy Revolution

By Dick Weisinger

In our wireless age, engineers are on the brink of a groundbreaking achievement: generating solar power in space and beaming it wirelessly to Earth. This idea, long dismissed as too complex and costly, is now being put to the test.
