Researchers have demonstrated a new technique for precisely controlling phase boundaries in thin film materials by manipulating the thickness of those films—allowing them to engineer energy storage materials that do not rely on toxic elements. In proof-of-concept testing for the new technique, the researchers found that a nontoxic thin film...

In many electricity markets, hydropower operators earn a significant portion of their revenue from the day-ahead market. In this market, utilities buy electricity based on expected demand for the next day, while power producers offer to sell electricity at prices based on forecasted production and demand. This process ensures that...
