Energy storage and nuclear fusion—two reliable crowd pleasers when the crowd you’re talking about is readers of IEEE Spectrum —are well represented among our most widely read energy stories of 2023. A real corker, and the answer to the question, what generates electricity but isn’t a dynamo or a fuel cell? Number one?
