University of Missouri researchers have solved a major roadblock in DNA data storage by making it rewritable for the first time. This breakthrough could transform how we store everything from family photos to corporate archives in molecules smaller than a grain of sand.
Scientists at Penn State have created a breakthrough memory device that combines synthetic DNA with solar cell materials, using 100 times less power than flash drives while storing far more data. The innovation could revolutionize energy-hungry AI data centers and pave the way for brain-like computing.
Scientists created a silicon chip that writes 64 DNA sequences at once using only water and electricity, replacing a toxic chemical process. The breakthrough could lead to portable DNA labs and even DNA-based data storage.
Researchers discovered bacteria that create DNA using proteins as templates instead of other DNA—reversing biology's fundamental rules. This breakthrough could reshape our understanding of how life stores and transfers information. #
Scientists built an AI that designs synthetic DNA switches capable of turning genes on and off in specific cells, potentially transforming how we treat diseases like leukemia. In lab tests, these AI-generated sequences actually outperformed natural DNA at reactivating a protective gene in leukemia cells.
Scientists discovered a bacterial protein that creates DNA without copying existing genetic material—something biology textbooks say shouldn't be possible. The breakthrough could lead to revolutionary new tools for building custom DNA molecules.
The world's battery storage capacity just doubled in a single year, breaking the 100-gigawatt barrier for the first time. Falling costs are making clean energy storage affordable enough to transform how we power our lives.
Texas just installed enough battery storage to power 675,000 homes, leading a nationwide surge that's transforming how America uses electricity. The state now accounts for more than a quarter of all new energy storage in the country.
State-owned energy giant Statkraft has greenlit a new pumped-storage hydropower project in Norway, adding to the country's renewable energy infrastructure. The approval signals continued investment in clean energy storage solutions that help balance power grids.
America just installed enough battery storage in one year to power Houston through the night. Despite political headwinds, the clean energy storage revolution is accelerating across red and blue states alike.
Greece is transforming a solar energy challenge into an opportunity by pairing solar farms with battery storage. After curtailing 2,000 GWh of renewable power in 2025, the country is racing to build energy storage solutions that could stabilize its grid and protect solar investors.
Finland's Fortum just applied for permits to build two massive energy storage facilities in Sweden that could power the country's clean energy future. The projects would nearly 10x the company's current storage capacity in the region.
Türkiye has approved 33GW of battery storage projects, nearly triple the capacity of major EU markets, after introducing a groundbreaking policy requiring renewable energy projects to include storage solutions. The country is building Europe's largest battery pipeline while becoming the only nation in its region to generate over 20% of electricity from wind and solar.
California's electric vehicles could soon help power the grid when demand spikes, turning millions of parked cars into a massive energy storage system. A new report shows just 10% of the state's EVs could deliver one-third of California's 2036 storage goals.
Saudi Arabia just opened the doors for six massive battery storage projects that could power its clean energy future. This move brings the Kingdom closer to its ambitious goal of 48 GWh of battery storage by 2030.
For the first time ever, battery energy storage systems have overtaken traditional pumped hydropower as the world's largest energy storage technology. This breakthrough marks a turning point in our ability to store clean energy and power the grid reliably.
The world installed enough battery storage in 2025 to power millions of homes, marking the biggest year yet for clean energy storage. This breakthrough means renewable energy can now work around the clock, even when the sun isn't shining or wind isn't blowing.
The world just crossed a major threshold in clean energy, with battery storage installations hitting 100 gigawatts for the first time in 2025. This breakthrough marks a turning point where storage is no longer backup power but the primary tool keeping electric grids stable.
America just installed four times more battery storage than it did three years ago, with Texas poised to lead the nation. The surge proves clean energy storage has become essential infrastructure that both red and blue states can't afford to ignore.
A massive 175-megawatt battery facility in Gorham, Maine just brought the state more than halfway to its 2030 clean energy storage goals. The Cross Town Energy Storage site will power over 19,000 homes while smoothing out electricity costs for Mainers.
