Energy policy and research

The use of nanoscale materials to accelerate chemical reactions, in this case, for hydrogen production.

Solar cells designed to be largely invisible to the human eye while still capable of converting light energy into electricity. These cells absorb infrared light and are made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials.

Electrochemical capacitors capable of storing massive electrical charges and discharging energy much faster than batteries.

UCLA research and development effort to create transparent solar cells capable of generating electricity while remaining largely invisible to the human eye. The cells absorb infrared light and are made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials.

Solar cells that are 70% invisible to the human eye and capable of generating electricity by absorbing infrared light. Made from lightweight, flexible plastic-like materials suitable for window integration and large-scale affordable production.
