Earlier this year, ARPA-E staff visited Via Separations in Watertown, MA. Via Separations has worked to develop a membrane platform made from highly robust sheets of graphene-oxide. Learn more about this program below. #ARPAEOnTheRoad🔬🚗 arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i…


ARPA-E has funded 15 different early-stage circuit breaker projects over the last 5 yrs. Georgia Tech will soon run its 72-kV prototype AC breaker through a synthetic test circuit at UW-Milwaukee. IEEE Spectrum: First Supercritical CO2 Circuit Breaker Debuts spectrum.ieee.org/sf6-gas-replac…

New from our Technology Showcase Spotlight Series: Sublime Systems! Sublime utilizes an electrochemical process that uses abundant natural rocks instead of specific raw materials, creating a 1:1 replacement for ordinary Portland cement. Learn more ⬇️ arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i…




ARPA-E Staff recently visited Georgia Tech to see the 72 kV supercritical CO2 breaker & the team’s solid insulation bushing and the novel metal-oxide varistors (MOVs). The team also recently completed a first round of experiments with UW-Milwaukee. Read more: spectrum.ieee.org/sf6-gas-replac….


Thanks for funding this research and for visiting campus! Strategic Energy Institute at Georgia Tech


Spotlight #TS3: Macroalgae Aquaculture Dev NOAA Coastal Ocean Science, funded by ARPA-E, is using comprehensive ocean planning methodology to support a proposed commercial scale macroalgae farm in the Southern CA Bight. #SeaTheFuture #NCCOSAquaculture Learn more: bit.ly/436MfoY.


“For almost all of human history, life expectancy at birth was ~30 yrs. Today, global life expectancy is 73 yrs. The story of that transformation is predominantly driven by advances in energy.” -Secretary Chris Wright, U.S. Department of Energy Watch more from the 2025 Summit: youtube.com/playlist?list=…


Today, RealtaFusion closed a $36M Series A round to bring its magnetic mirror fusion technology closer to commercialization. Realta spun out of a U.S. Department of Energy/ARPA-E funded UW–Madison experiment. Congrats to the team recreating the power of the🌞on planet🌍 bit.ly/4kfDpfl


We are pleased to announce a NEXTCAR field-day (Ohio State Southwest Research Institute UC Berkeley) on June 5, 2025, at American Center for Mobility. NREL Leidos & MTU Research will showcase their tech, & participants will gain insights into cutting-edge innovations. Register here. acmwillowrun.org/arpa-e-field-d…


Spotlight Series, T3, Interview #4: Funded by ARPA-E's OPEN program, the team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing technologies to reduce nitrogen inputs to crops via engineering microbial production of urea, one of the most important fertilizers used by U.S. farmers. arpa-e.energy.gov/programs-and-i….


What if power lines could burrow underground like worms? Through ARPA-E’s #GOPHURRS program, Case Western Reserve is developing a robot inspired by earthworms to install underground power lines —faster, safer, and with less surface disruption.
