MIT Researchers Discover New Energy Storage Solution

Renewable Energy World: "Massachussets, United States [RenewableEnergyWorld.com]
In April of this year, RenewableEnergyWorld.com reported that the Chesonis Family Foundation gave the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) a grant of US $10 million to launch the Solar Revolution project. Now, MIT researchers believe they have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn't shine.
'The importance of their discovery cannot be overstated since it opens up the door for developing new technologies for energy production thus reducing our dependence for fossil fuels and addressing the global climate change problem.'
-- James Barber, Ernst Chain Professor of Biochemistry, Imperial College London
Solar power is currently a daytime-only energy source because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. With this announcement, MIT researchers say they have discovered a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy."
