Offshore turbines, storms, and algae blooms are blacking out kelp forests — and scientists can now track it Above the water, reading darkness is easy. Clouds…
On a blustery November day, a Cessna turboprop climbed to 16,400 feet over Pennsylvania and flew straight into crosswinds gusting up to 70 knots — nearly…
Antarctica has been losing ice for decades — roughly 140 billion tons a year, on average. So when satellites recorded a net gain of 695 billion…
Ancient coral and tree rings expose a 400-year ocean rhythm that human emissions are now dismantling For at least four centuries, the tropical Indian and Pacific…
AI data centers, semiconductor fabs, and high-performance computing clusters are consuming electricity at a pace that’s straining grids across the world. The pressure to find reliable,…
Vinton County, Ohio, sits deep in Appalachian hill country, its economy long shaped by coal, iron, and clay — industries that have largely faded, leaving roughly…
Antarctica gained 700 billion tons of ice — and a distant tropical ocean drove it For two decades, Antarctica has been losing ice at a rate…
On the northeastern edge of the Scottish Highlands, Port of Ardersier is being positioned as the unlikely birthplace of a new industrial era. The coastal site,…
Imagine an engine built from a single atom suspended between two mirrors, fed by a continuous beam of laser light. It absorbs photons, releases them, and…
When John Glenn orbited Earth in 1962, he marveled at a ribbon of green farmland cutting through the desert northwest of El Paso — a living…
Walk across the rubble-covered slopes beneath Mount Timpanogos in Utah and you’d never guess what lies underfoot. What looks like a sprawling field of loose rock…
Passenger jets flying over the poles while scattering sun-reflecting particles into the stratosphere may already be our most affordable tool for cooling an overheating planet. For…
Diamond has long been celebrated for almost every remarkable physical property a material can possess — hardness, thermal conductivity, chemical stability. Yet for more than a…
Beneath Western Australia’s ancient rock, a natural hydrogen engine may have run for millions of years — and scientists just learned how to boost it The…
Oceans are growing far more algae than before — and a sweeping new study reveals the full scale of a transformation reshaping marine ecosystems Stretches of…
Swiss researchers built a living battery made of fungi that feeds on sugar and dissolves itself when the job is done — already powering sensors for…
Pulling billions of tons of CO2 out of the atmosphere is one of the hardest things humanity has ever attempted. The technologies built for it —…
Floating solar has a quiet limitation most people never notice: it only works where the water stays calm. Reservoirs, sheltered lakes, protected bays — these have…
Solar panels and crops can share land — a new model shows both come out ahead Solar farms are expanding fast — and so is the…
Data centers are betting billions on small nuclear reactors, but experts warn the technology may not arrive in time Data centers are facing a genuine energy…
The same administration that canceled billions in clean energy grants and spent nearly $4 billion buying back offshore wind leases just approved a landmark ocean energy…
Central Utah’s color changed in less than two years from space. In a June 2024 Landsat image, Castle Valley was mostly tan, indicating undeveloped ground. In…
Norway’s Voldsfjorden, two sun circles float alongside cod pens and turn an aquaculture site into an offshore power station. Typically solar panels should be installed on…
Small solar panels power stations, with antennas that dip into frozen darkness across Greenland’s ice sheet. They are designed to detect radio flashes from ultra-high-energy neutrinos…
Three floating wind turbines stand in the Atlantic some 12 miles off the coast of northern Portugal, with marine life swimming beneath. Offshore wind is frequently…
On April 8, 2024, the Moon caused a twilight to occur during the day in Texas, and the electric grid responded almost instantaneously. Solar farms typically…
Oyster cages were carried from the Chesapeake Bay by a floating platform in Baltimore harbor for months. Oysters are typically kept in stationary cages and food…
A sampling frame was pressed against the bottom of a solar floater in the Dutch North Sea. The platforms above floated on the water like a…
Water flooded a concrete chamber in Idaho’s Dworshak Dam that has been dry for about 50 years. A powerhouse with an empty bay inside can appear…
In a remote western Australian location, rows of solar panels feed electricity towards machines that listen beyond Earth. Solar power typically is the answer to an…
In seconds, a hailstone can hit a solar panel and cause damage that can last for a long time. Homeowners tend to look at the panel’s…
A tawny cat moved between rows of solar equipment after dark, its presence captured only by a remote camera. Solar plants may seem like places wildlife…
