Research

Achieving Clean and Sustainable Energy is one of the World's Grand Challenges

• 
  Re-Engineered Energy Laboratory (REng|Lab)

  We're researching how to use solar energy and electricity to develop new types of sustainable fuels and chemicals.

• 
  Center for Wind Energy

  We're developing smart wind turbine blades that are cheaper to build, made from bio materials that are smarter and more reliable.

• 
  Nuclear Energy

  In our open-pool, 1-Mega-Watt, nuclear reactor, we are investigating advanced reactor technologies and materials that will make nuclear energy cleaner, and safer.

• 
  Energy & Combustion Research Laboratory

  We are exploring a variety of topics ranging from alternative fuels, novel thermodynamic cycles, and combustion-assisted material synthesis.

• 
  Energy Storage

  We're designing new energy conversion and storage systems that can make renewable energy more widespread.
