It was her seven-year-old son, sharing some exciting news. He’d just unlocked a new level on his video game, thanks to the help of a stranger online.

Breakthrough Allies: Here’s How GE Vernova and ARPA-E Are Tackling the Energy Transition

In 2009, the United States Department of Energy was seeking a dose of radical thinking. Early that year, its newly created Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) issued an open call for “the most revolutionary energy technologies.” If ARPA-E officials were expecting a steady trickle of ideas from business, academia, and research laboratories, they were wrong.
