News
A strip of track in the Swiss Jura carries 48 solar panels laid flat between the rails and thousands of trains have run over them, but the array covers only 330 feet of a national network
17+ hour, 39+ min ago (812+ words) A single track railway in the western Swiss mountains, pasture on both sides, a station a short walk away. Between the rails, where there is normally gravel and nothing else, a run of dark blue panels lies flat. They sit…...
We've Built the Clean Energy Generation. But Can We Deliver It?
23+ hour, 8+ min ago (602+ words) The renewable energy industry spent two decades making clean power cost-competitive with fossil fuels on its own economic merits. However, the fight nobody fully budgeted for is getting electrons from the farm to the outlet, and it’s becoming the industry’s…...
Switching to electric vehicles could unlock nearly $200 billion in U.S. health benefits by cutting the toxic tailpipe pollution millions breathe daily, but only if the grid gets cleaner too
4+ day, 17+ hour ago (621+ words) For tens of millions of Americans, everyday life is shaped by the constant hum of traffic—combustion engines idling along highways, suburban thoroughfares, and streets running past schools and homes. While the national debate surrounding electric vehicles routinely centers on…...
China sent a flying power plant 13,000 feet into the sky, and a new bird study found tiny songbirds can climb into the very same layer
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (537+ words) Wind power plants are rising thousands of feet into the sky, but so are concerns about potential wildlife impact. Renewable energy capacity must rapidly expand globally to relieve the pressure of increasing electricity demand. The nation is overcoming this by…...
Stanford chemists turned ordinary rocks into carbon-trapping materials that work thousands of times faster than nature by borrowing a trick from centuries-old cement-making and the results could reshape how humanity fights climate change
4+ day, 21+ hour ago (463+ words) 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 — giant fan systems, experimental ocean interventions — are expensive, energy-intensive, and still nowhere near the scale the…...
Renewables can't scale fast enough to replace fossil fuels without an energy shortfall, and a new open-source model built by engineering graduates shows the gap could last decades and reshape how the world plans its entire energy future
4+ day, 23+ hour ago (437+ words) The global energy debate frequently collapses into two opposing visions: fossil fuels burning unchecked until industrial systems fracture, or a smooth, rapid handoff to renewable abundance. Yet civil engineers know that complex physical infrastructure rarely obeys political optimism or catastrophic…...
American engineers develop solar panels that turn seawater into drinking water by "sweating" salts away with laser-etched grooves, zero chemical waste, and a coffee-ring trick that keeps the surface permanently clean
5+ day, 23+ hour ago (605+ words) Across the globe, 2.2 billion people lack reliable access to safe drinking water. Desalination plants offer a crucial lifeline, yet these massive facilities harbor a destructive secret: every day, they pump billions of gallons of toxic liquid brine back into the…...
In 1800, an Italian physicist named Alessandro Volta built the world's first battery to prove his friend wrong about a dead frog, unleashing a continuous electric current that cracked open the secrets of electrochemistry and powered the modern world
6+ day, 17+ hour ago (579+ words) Instead, the foundation of modern power systems began improbably in 18th-century Italy with an intense personal dispute between two brilliant researchers, a battery, and a dissected frog. Luigi Galvani was a respected physician and anatomist at the University of Bologna…...
Japan announces energy policy package to diversify oil supply and reduce Strait of Hormuz dependence
1+ week, 19+ hour ago (378+ words) Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s government laid out the package at a green transformation meeting in Tokyo. It’s comprehensive: oil supply diversification, decarbonization goals, and a push for greater energy self-sufficiency through renewables and nuclear power. The immediate trigger is hard…...
Gastech 2026 Brings Global Energy Leaders to Bangkok as Asia Drives the Next Wave of Demand
1+ week, 1+ day ago (494+ words) The world’s largest exhibition and conference for natural gas, LNG, low-carbon solutions, hydrogen, shipping, AI for energy and electrification comes to Bangkok as Asia’s economic transformation creates new opportunities across the energy sector As Asia continues to drive the next…...
