Editor's Note

Some days, it’s about the journey—the dreaming, the planning, the adventures you have along the way. It’s the fantastic Italian restaurant you find because you got lost walking back to your hotel. Or the discoveries scientists make and the inspirations that lead them to dedicate their careers to research. Such as working to replace a brittle metal in a solar cell and finding out you may be closer to solar panels that could be rolled up like a rug. Or studying carbon capture and finding out that the problem isn’t what everyone said it was. This issue of Frontiers in Energy Research offers you a chance to read about the diverse backgrounds, concerns, and discoveries made as the scientists journey to the energy frontiers and beyond.
