energy-storage

Nature Communications, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-71894-y Authors propose a triple-synergy strategy for dielectric ceramics that integrates medium-entropy superparaelectric design, local structural distortion and plate-like BiTO phase construction, thereby achieving remarkable energy storage performance.

Nature Communications, Published online: 15 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-71800-6 The authors engineer an octahedrally rigid perovskite dielectric with a dual-cubic framework and cold-sintering-enabled microstructure, enabling stable capacitive energy storage up to 270 °C.

Living machines for smart surgical devices, improved drug delivery systems, and fire-safe energy storage materials are among the potential scientific breakthroughs that could become reality in the not-so-distant future.

The transition to a low-carbon electricity system is likely to require grid-scale energy storage to smooth the variability and intermittency of renewable energy. This paper investigates whether private incentives for operating and investing in grid-scale energy storage are optimal and the need for policies that complement investments in renewables with encouraging energy storage.
