The reason is simple: it could cause a catastrophe, and experts are...
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore.As countries around the world increasingly tap into renewable energy, scientists are exploring the best ways to manage excess energy efficiently for all times of the day and night—including at times of peak usage, on cloudy days, or when the wind isn’t blowing. In a recent study, a group of Turkish...
