Direct carbon fuel cells (DCFCs) are emerging as a promising technology that directly converts the chemical energy of solid carbon into electricity without intermediate fuel reforming. By employing ...

Fuel cells are not some novel new technology. In fact, most history books credit the invention of the fuel cell to Welsh chemist and physicist William Grove, who, in the late 1830s and early 1840s, ...

What if the future of aviation didn’t rely on heavy lithium-ion batteries or complex hydrogen systems, but instead on a fuel as simple and abundant as sodium? At MIT, researchers are turning this bold ...
