Electricity rates have risen 10% in the U.S. since last year. Stanford experts discuss the causes and propose solutions to ease costs for ratepayers.

The Precourt Institute for Energy at the Doerr School of Sustainability has launched a cross-campus initiative to fundamentally rethink how people and goods move across land, sea, and air.

From deep underground heat to solar on farms, researchers are leading efforts to make clean power affordable and reliable as energy costs rise and electricity demand climbs.

By disrupting the atomic structure of lithium-ion batteries, SLAC researchers eliminated the expansion and contraction that causes degradation.

A Stanford team is exploring how new ultra-precise capsules could improve fusion reactors and other energy systems.

A breakthrough technique offers insights into energy use, efficiency, and speed in computers and other devices.

Harnessing heat from deep underground can significantly lower land and infrastructure needs while keeping costs competitive.

A new solar-powered microgrid will meet on-site energy needs while providing students with hands-on experience.

A new study links gas and propane stove emissions to asthma and other health risks. Transitioning to electric could reduce exposure by over 50%.

During a recent Dean’s Lecture Series event, leaders discussed Taiwan’s path to net-zero emissions – and the ways Stanford’s research can enhance those efforts.
