For decades, the Arctic melt season grew longer with near-clockwork reliability — earlier spring thaws, later autumn freezes, year after year. By 2010, the season had…
Green hydrogen — made by splitting water with renewable energy rather than burning natural gas — is widely seen as a cleaner fuel for the future.…
Yellowstone National Park pulls in four million visitors a year. People come for the geysers, the hot springs, the bison wandering across open meadows. From the…
Designing an offshore wind farm means making dozens of interconnected decisions before a single turbine is placed — which wind model to use, how to define…
When engineers plan a wind farm, they typically pull atmospheric data from right around turbine height — the zone where the blades will actually spin. In…
May is supposed to bring relief to Puerto Rico. The wet season arrives, the skies open up, and reservoirs begin to recover from the dry months…
Somewhere inside a high-performance computing cluster at the University of South Florida, an AI model spent months working through 1.2 million satellite images of the world’s…
Green hydrogen is clean in theory — and stubbornly expensive in practice. A big part of the problem is the rare, costly metal catalysts that current…
Spearhead-shaped and no bigger than a bacterial cell, they had been sitting in North Atlantic seafloor sediment for 97 million years. Scientists who studied these microscopic…
Abandoned oil wells may hold a second life as underground energy storage — and a Penn State study suggests trapped geothermal heat could make the whole…
Garlic peel — the papery skin most cooks brush straight into the trash — is generating up to 400 volts of electricity inside a laboratory in…
A day is not exactly 24 hours. Earth’s rotation drifts slightly — speeding up, slowing down — by a few milliseconds over decades. The difference is…
Off the northeast coast of Scotland, five turbines rise nearly 100 meters above the North Sea — the world’s first commercial floating offshore wind farm. A…
Tethered kites built for wind power can now map atmospheric turbulence at altitudes that radar masts and lidars have never reached — while generating electricity Hundreds…
Inside the hollow stems of young Macaranga trees in Malaysian Borneo, something was wrong. Researchers cutting open these tropical plants expected to find what has lived…
Africa has long been underestimated — even on world maps, where the continent appears roughly the size of North America when it’s actually far larger. The…
Solar thermoelectric generators have promised cheap, versatile electricity for decades — yet they still convert less than 1% of sunlight into power, while a standard rooftop…
Steel, concrete, months of heavy machinery — building a wind farm comes with a real carbon price tag before a single kilowatt reaches the grid. The…
Asia sits on just 4% of the world’s oil and gas reserves — yet the continent sends more than $300 billion a year out of the…
In remote coastal communities, the rhythm of daily life often runs on diesel — generators humming through the night, solar panels idled by overcast skies. Energy…
There’s no power grid in space. Every satellite operates the way a camper works in the woods — carrying only the energy it launched with, burning…
Swallowing a battery is a medical emergency. Unless, apparently, that’s exactly what the doctor ordered. MIT scientists have developed a pill-sized battery made from paper that…
Offshore wind turbines can steal power from each other — with losses reaching 38% and stretching 34 miles downwind. The U.S. is building thousands of offshore…
Renewable energy is expanding fast — and it still may not be enough to prevent a decades-long global power shortfall The world has spent decades arguing…
Rain is so ordinary it barely registers — drops hitting pavement, sliding down glass, pooling in gutters. Nobody thinks of it as a power source. But…
Between the strawberry rows and the solar panels, California farmers found a financial lifeline — selling electricity back to the grid from arrays placed on their…
The global race for clean energy dominance is no longer a future contest — it’s being settled now, technology by technology, gigawatt by gigawatt. China’s 15th…
When engineers at RheEnergise popped champagne in January, they weren’t celebrating a new mountain reservoir or a dammed alpine valley. They were marking 500 kilowatts of…
Fifteen hundred meters beneath the Pacific, a remote-controlled drill bit into the seafloor last week near one of the most volcanically active ridges on Earth. The…
Inside a University of Maryland lab, a fusion reactor cobbled together from salvaged hospital MRI scanners and repurposed glass beer bottles sits quietly at the center…
Indian scientists engineered concrete that captures CO₂ — and it’s stronger than the original Concrete is everywhere — under roads, inside bridges, running through the pipes…
Offshore wind farms reveal a new window into Atlantic current decline Beneath the Atlantic Ocean, an immense system of currents has been quietly moving heat from…
Solar panels in Colorado’s drought-stressed grasslands are boosting plant growth by up to 90 percent — and researchers say the drier the land gets, the stronger…
Rutgers researchers built an AI lookout for endangered whales Fewer than 370 North Atlantic right whales still swim the Atlantic — and until recently, the ships,…
Offshore wind farms are among the most promising tools in the shift away from fossil fuels — but a team of researchers from Concordia University and…
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…
