Nuclear Batteries will offer a new approach to Carbon-Free Energy

Energy storage technologies—and batteries in particular—are often seen as the “holy grail” to fully decarbonizing our future electricity grid, along with renewables and nuclear energy—which provides more than 56 percent of America’s carbon-free electricity. “I like to say that the future energy system is going to be a lot of nuclear and a lot of renewables,” said Idaho National Laboratory Director Mark Peters. “When I talk about a lot of nuclear and a lot of renewables, that would [mean] a lot of batteries—a lot of storage on the grid.” But what is energy storage? On the grid, electricity flows from…

Weird Neptune-like exoplanet may have water clouds

A Neptune-like planet that’s relatively close to Earth may sport a watery surprise. The exoplanet, called TOI-1231 b, might have clouds of water high in its atmosphere, but the observations are so preliminary that it’s hard to say for sure. “Future observations of this new planet will let us determine just how common (or rare) it is for water clouds to form around these temperate worlds,” Jennifer Burt, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and lead author of the new research, said in a statement from the University of New Mexico, which was also involved in the…
