JRSE, published by the American Institute of Physics, is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of renewable and sustainable energy-related fields that apply to the physical science and engineering communities. Content is published online daily, collected into bimonthly issues (6 times a year). As an electronic-only, web-based journal with rapid publication time, JRSE is responsive to the many new developments expected in this field. The interdisciplinary approach of the publication ensures that the editors draw from researchers worldwide in a diverse range of fields. Topics covered include: * Bioenergy – bioreactions and bioengineering * Geothermal energy – geysers, heat pumps, and novel devices * Marine and hydroelectric energy – waves, tides, and dams * Nuclear energy – fission, fusion, and related materials * Solar energy – photovoltaics and solar thermal converters * Wind energy – turbines and electrical systems and controls * Energy conversion – solid oxide and proton exchange membrane fuel cells and novel devices * Energy efficient buildings – photovoltaics, solar thermal converters, and passive solar approaches * Energy storage – hydrogen and batteries * Power distribution – conventional and superconducting transmission, fluctuating loads, and controls * Renewable energy resource assessment * Transportation – hydrogen, batteries, fuel cells, bioenergy, and vehicles
