Jarad Mason will work to de-risk promising ideas, with the aim of eventually launching startups, thanks to funding announced today from the University’s Grid Accelerator.

Virtually every refrigerator and air conditioner in use today relies on volatile fluorocarbon refrigerants, extremely potent greenhouse gases. Their release into the atmosphere is responsible for 3 percent of all global warming, a number that is rapidly increasing. A project led by ...

CCB mourns the loss of Yoshito Kishi, Morris Loeb Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, who passed away on January 9 at the age of 85. 

The Harvard Gazette obituary is copied below:

He was a towering figure in organic chemistry renowned for his syntheses of complex natural products and impact on the development of halichondrin, paving the way for the creation of powerful cancer therapies. But in addition Yoshito Kishi, who died earlier this month at the age of 86, will be warmly remembered by colleagues and students as a devoted mentor who was wise...

A new startup, Quino Energy, aims to bring to market a grid-scale energy storage solution developed by Harvard researchers to facilitate more widespread adoption of renewable energy sources.

About 12% of U.S. utility-scale electricity generation currently comes from wind and solar sources, which fluctuate with daily weather conditions. For wind and solar to play a greater role in the decarbonization of the electricity grid while reliably meeting consumer demand, grid operators recognize the need to deploy energy storage systems, but these have not yet proved cost-effective at...
