A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could make it much easier to discover better materials for clean energy technologies. The system, called StableOx-Cat, helps scientists identify stable metal ...

China has just crossed a threshold that many nuclear engineers have talked about for decades but no country had previously achieved at scale: turning thorium into a practical, operating source of low ...

Prof. Wang Lianzhou, Chair Professor of Energy Materials of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, leads cutting-edge research on ...

For decades, economists have advocated energy and climate policy that ‘gets the prices right’. Carbon prices and other market-based policies were seen as comprehensive solutions to meeting emission ...

Scientists developed a high-performance hydrogen-production catalyst using lignin, a common waste product from paper and biorefinery processes. The nickel–iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in carbon ...

Despite uncertainly around climate-focused policy, the policy outlook for clean-energy technologies remained resilient in 2025, owing to the cost-competitiveness of key technologies combined with ...

Solar photovoltaics, wind power, and energy storage systems offer viable alternatives to fossil fuels—but they also have environmental, economic, and social impacts. To explore these impacts, the ...

China accounted for more than half of the $1.1 trillion in global clean energy investment between 2019 and 2025, outspending the U.S. by more than 2-to-1. About $136 billion of China’s investment ...
