Professor Eugene Smotkin is making reusable hybrid-batteries the future of clean energy through his research, his company, and his nonprofit.

Sanjeev Mukerjee, a Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Northeastern, is working to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for consumer vehicles.

Two Northeastern researchers have received a $1 million grant from the Department of Energy to develop technology to lower the cost of fuel cells for energy-efficient cars.

Working in NUCRET allows for research opportunities, networking opportunities, and mentorship opportunities - both by being taken under the wing of the lab’s graduate students, as well as advising incoming undergraduates.

North­eastern Uni­ver­sity con­vened experts from industry, gov­ern­ment, and acad­emia last week to dis­cuss advance­ments in next-​​generation energy storage and bat­tery tech­nolo­gies as well as their com­mer­cial via­bility, which could have a major impact in addressing global chal­lenges in areas such as energy con­sump­tion, mate­rials short­ages, and cli­mate change.

Alter­na­tive energy sources are often touted as the solu­tion to the waning global supply of oil and mounting evi­dence of carbon-​​induced cli­mate change.
