- Next-generation geothermal energy: Promise, progress, and challenges
Geothermal energy, a clean, continuous energy source accessible in many locations, has been slow to catch on Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Romans made extensive use of geothermal energy — heat from the Earth — including at the spa complex at present-day Bath, England Electricity was first produced from geothermal sources in the early 1900s in Italy In the United States, the Geysers

- Why solid-state batteries keep short-circuiting - MIT News
MIT researchers discovered that dendrites, cracks that harm the performance of solid-state batteries, can grow at far lower stresses than previously understood The findings reveal why developing stronger solid electrolytes alone hasn’t solved the dendrite problem; more chemically stable materials will be needed to finally fulfill the promise of these batteries
