ARPA-E

ARPA-E tracks quantitative metrics to measure the success of early-stage research funding. Metrics include follow-on funding, new company formation, publications, patents, licenses, and more. Check out the latest impact numbers below👇: arpa-e.energy.gov/about/our-impa….

ARPA-E recently visited Mana Battery, Inc., which is developing “anode-free” sodium battery cells w/ fluorine-free electrolytes and an advanced sodium metal battery with breakthrough potential in collaboration with @CUBoulder. #ARPAEontheRoad🚗🔋🪫 arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i….

The @BareckaLab at @Northeastern is developing a technology that converts air, water, and underutilized electricity into liquid fuels that drop into the existing energy infrastructure in order to make energy infrastructure more reliable and robust. Learn: bit.ly/3Tc13hx.

In Jan, ARPA-E announced $40M to develop transmutation techniques that will reduce radioactivity & quantity of UNF. ARPA-E’s #NEWTON program seeks to make it economically viable to transmute the U.S. commercial UNF stockpile within 30 yrs.   @IEEESpectrum spectrum.ieee.org/nuclear-waste-…

In June, ARPA-E visited @Johnson_Matthey team’s field test unit operating at a Core Natural Resources mine site. Funded in part by ARPA-E #REMEDY, this work is focused on economic viability thru optimizing precious metal loading. #ARPAEontheRoad🚗🏔️ arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i….

In June, ARPA-E staff visited @argonne & @oklo to tour a large fume enclosure that houses a high temp molten salt loop. @oklo was recently selected to provide power to an Air Force base in AK using Aurora small modular reactors. Learn more⬇️#ARPAEontheRoad bit.ly/4nY1Wbt

Tune into this #ARPAE25 discussion on AI systems and energy generation with @yury_dvorkin, Associate Prof at @HopkinsEngineer, Levi Patterson, Director of Energy, Science, and AI Infrastructure Policy at @nvidia, & Ben Wilson, President of @nationalgrid. youtube.com/watch?v=TsWeEj…

Researchers at @Cornell, funded in part by ARPA-E, have made recent breakthroughs in the basic science of how microbes interact w/ metals & minerals, and in engineering microorganisms that can extract metals from minerals and separate them. Learn more⬇️🦠 news.cornell.edu/stories/2025/0…

ARPA-E staff recently visited @UWMadison #ULTIMATE and #IGNIITE 2024 performers to see the laser power bed fusion (LPBF) and directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing processes in action. #ARPAEontheRoad. Bring power to possibility. arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i…

Hinetics, funded in part by ARPA-E and @NASA, is generating excitement following the recent testing of a prototype motor outfitted with superconducting rotor magnets that uses a self-contained cryocooler. Read more below in @IEEESpectrum⚙️📰⬇️ spectrum.ieee.org/electric-aircr….

SuperWood is stronger than steel, yet 1/6 the weight. @invent_wood, funded in part by @ARPAE, says it could someday replace steel I-beams in the skeleton of a building, while being impact-resistant enough for bulletproof doors. Read more below in @WSJ. bit.ly/4nA0CLJ

ARPA-E-funded @fervoenergy has successfully unlocked thermal recovery factors in the range of 50- 60%, tripling the amount of thermal energy reserves vs. conventional geothermal tech. Learn more about the performance records the team recently broke here⬇️ fervoenergy.com/fervo-energy-p…

A @Princeton-led team is creating software to help solve the challenge of integrating #RenewableEnergy into the electric grid without sacrificing grid reliability. The project has been led by @orfe faculty & funded by a grant from @ARPAE. engineering.princeton.edu/news/2025/06/2…

🚘The @ARPAE NEXTCAR project with @OSUCtrAutoRsrch, @BorgWarner and @TRCPG is turning smart vehicles into clean-energy powerhouses. #ConnectedVehicles #AutomatedMobility #EnergyEfficientDriving #SmartMobility #VehicleOptimization #MobilityTech

Recently, ARPA-E staff visited a #SMARTFARM project at the @UUtah to discuss the deployment of a sensor that would enable farmers to measure carbon in soil & allow farmers to measure the carbon intensity of biofuel crop production. #ARPAEontheRoad 🚗⬇️ arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i…

The ARPA-E #NEXTCAR program team recently held a field day at @acmwillowrun, which supported the 4 #NEXTCAR project teams as each showcased energy savings improvements through connected & automated vehicle technologies. @OhioState @SwRI @UCBerkeley @NREL @LeidosInc @mturesearch

Congrats to @QuaiseEnergy on the completion of their first geothermal drilling demonstration on a full-scale oil rig developed at @MIT. This technique can drill up to 12 miles, surpassing conventional geothermal wells that typically don't exceed ~2 miles. quaise.energy/news/major-dem…

ARPA-E-funded @DeepIsolation's innovative, ground-breaking tech was recently featured as the cover story in Nuclear Newswire. Read more below about how Deep Isolation is addressing how to manage spent nuclear fuel & high-level radioactive waste.☢️⚛️⬇️ ans.org/news/2025-06-0…

The ARPA-E Fusion Programs Annual Meeting will be held July 8-9 in Aurora, CO. Join ARPA-E fusion teams & fusion leaders from the public and private sectors to identify key technical challenges and commercialization pathways. Contact [email protected] to register.

Johanna Mathieu @UMichECE recently published research with @pecanstreetinc @LosAlamosNatLab @UCBerkeley on the possibility of coordinating large #s of home air-conditioning units + balancing supply & demand on the power grid. Read more @ConversationUS. theconversation.com/how-your-air-c…

Honored to host @ENERGY @SecretaryWright at Curio HQ today. We showcased our NuCycle™ tech and lab-scale demo progress with @ARPAE & @GAINnuclear and our 4 national lab partners. Together, we’re advancing U.S. leadership in nuclear fuel cycle innovation and energy security. 🇺🇸⚛️…
