It’s held up as both an essential piece of our renewable energy transition and a last ditch effort of the fossil fuel industry to keep polluting. Regardless of which side of the debate you’re on, there’s been a lot of advancements in recent years. Most of the headlines come from direct air carbon capture technology, but there are some natural approaches starting to get attention that could not only sequester carbon from the atmosphere, but also improve our food production, reduce erosion, and many other benefits. Do we need to build giant machines to capture carbon or has nature already given us the technology we need? Let’s see if we can come to a decision on this.

It is safe to say there is no modern gadgetry without the humble battery. Everything that needs electricity to work and cannot always be connected to a power source uses one type of battery or another, from heart pacemakers to smartwatches and electric cars! That is why the battery industry is among the hottest lately, as different companies race to be the one to produce the class-leading battery! Many battery materials have been tested, but there is a new battery material in town that shocks the entire industry! It is the nuclear diamond battery that can run for 28,000 years! What is this new battery? How does it work, and why is everybody talking about it? Join us as we bring you everything that you need to know about the wonder nuclear diamond battery that shocks the entire industry

Heat pumps are all the rage these days, and for good reason, but it turns out that ancient Persians had ways of making and storing ice, long before refrigeration existed. Today, engineers are taking from that ancient knowledge to design homes that cool without the need for electricity. And it could be the future of building design.

Gravity energy storage has real potential to provide cheap reliable grid balancing electricity to compliment the ever-growing volume of intermittent renewables on our power grids, but only if it’s done in the right way. Two companies, Energy Vault and Gravitricity have both taken radically different approaches to the problem. So, who will come out on top?

Solid state batteries have been hyped for years as a silver bullet for making EVs mainstream, improving consumer electronics, and … well … everything. It’s 2022 and they still aren’t here in any meaningful way, but there have been interesting advancements that are worth exploring. However, with several other battery technologies popping up offering similar or better energy density, lifespan, safety, and costs, (all of which are solid state batteries’ big sales pitch) is solid state still the future of energy storage tech? Let’s see if we can come to a decision on this.
