Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Britain is set to power its Antarctic Rothera Research Station with solar energy beamed from space. Large satellites will capture sunlight, convert it into high-frequency radio waves, and send it to a ...

Rothera Research Station is hoping to get the new tech up and running by the early 2030s and remove the need for diesel ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

As solar energy rapidly expands to meet urgent climate targets and increasing demand for electricity, the key challenge is to ...

A team of scientists in South Korea has set a new benchmark for solar innovation with bifacial thin-film solar cells that can generate electricity from both sides, per a release. On top of that, they ...

On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a ...

How might floating solar energy projects impact wild birds and vice versa? A paper outlines key considerations for a growing floating solar industry. From a small California winery to a large-scale ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

Financial benefits, such as saving on utility payments and avoiding electricity rate hikes, are a key driver of U.S. adults' willingness to consider installing rooftop solar panels or subscribing to ...
