Martian Tech Lands on Earth
22 Jan 2026 | Abstracted from CleanTechnica
A California startup, Noon Energy, has built a new battery that can store solar power for more than 100 hours - far longer than today’s lithium‑ion systems. The tech was first tested on NASA's Mars mission and now aims to replace diesel generators on Earth with a compact, long‑duration, carbon‑based storage system. It could help renewables run 24/7 and cut fossil‑fuel backup.
