Energy storage systems can harvest power from renewable resources like the sun and the wind and preserve it for future use. But these systems can be difficult to implement due to problems with cost, storage capacity and charging cycles. UCF Assistant Professor Shin Young Jeong is part of a team that has created a novel […]

Industries that require a low-cost, large-scale energy storage solution could turn to thermochemical energy storage (TCES), a technology that preserves energy through reversible chemical reactions. TCES can store heat for a long time, run non-stop and provide high-temperature heat for advanced manufacturing. But the challenge of implementing TCES is that little is known about the […]

Modern drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) struggle with safe and precise near-ground maneuvers – but birds can perform these movements effortlessly. Knowing that, Associate Professor Samik Bhattacharya is studying how birds sweep their wings and use their tails during critical moments of takeoff and landing to improve the agility of drones. This research is […]
