Total has signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new stationary batteries that are designed to enable the storage of solar power. This new class of batteries could enable continuous power supply from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar and a more stable, reliable grid.

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. They are inherently variable, producing electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. Sodium-ion batteries are now almost ready to fill the long-term storage gap.

Now comes a report on a quantum gas, called a Bose-Einstein condensate, which scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology first stretched into a skinny rod, then rotated until it broke up. The way to make quantum cloud vortices, though, involves more lab equipment and less atmospheric wind shear. “We Rick Duffy/Wikipedia.
