Blue Origin showed off a device that it claims can store energy from hot Moon dust inside a battery. We have questions.

The latest idea is based on osmosis, a natural process in which water will move from a place with lower concentration of, for ...

Solar power is a promising avenue for clean energy. Unfortunately, solar panels have one major weakness – they can't generate electricity in the dark. However, this weakness could soon change as ...

How can open ocean currents generate energy? Ocean currents contain kinetic energy that can be converted to electrical power using turbines. This is similar to offshore wind farms, or wind turbines ...

Wind and solar can only generate intermittent electricity, while oil is the basis for all the products in society. Two of the greatest inventions of all time are the incandescent light bulb and the ...

Satellite breakups and anti-satellite tests have created an alarming amount of debris, a crisis now exacerbated by the rapid expansion of commercial constellations such as SpaceX’s Starlink. The ...

A new study from researchers has created a new material that is repurposed to bring people energy and power, and it is via an odd item that most people would not think of, yarn. This invention is ...

As solar power makes electricity cheaper, that conundrum should ease somewhat. But it will not disappear. African utilities rarely cover their costs. In Kenya, a typical case, some 25% of juice is ...

An international team has discovered a simple and environmentally friendly way to power the next generation of self-charging electronics. The work is published in Nano Energy.

Clean energy is cheap energy. Building a large-scale solar or wind project costs less than a new gas plant, and solar and ...
