A recent study shows that lettuce can be grown in greenhouses that filter out wavelengths of light used to generate solar power, demonstrating the feasibility…
Researchers led by Iowa State’s Hui Hu took their studies of wind-turbine icing out of the lab and into the field to learn how and…
Reducing internal losses could pave the way to low-cost perovskite-based photovoltaics that match silicon cells’ output. Perovskites are a leading candidate for eventually replacing silicon…
From ‘The Terminator’ and ‘Blade Runner’ to ‘The Matrix’, Hollywood has taught us to be wary of artificial intelligence. But rather than sealing our doom…
Wind energy scientists at Cornell University have released a new global wind atlas – a digital compendium filled with documented extreme wind speeds for all…
One of the most abundant bats in Europe may be attracted to wind turbines, a new study shows. The activity of common pipistrelle bats was…
Researchers leverage renewable electricity for widespread, distributed hydrogen fuel production. Northwestern University researchers have developed a highly effective, environmentally friendly method for converting ammonia into…

Scientists set a record for the highest conversion rate of carbon dioxide at low temperatures with copper-modified indium oxide, signifying sustainable e-fuel. With ever-worsening climate…
University considers proposal to convert cattle manure to methane and use it in combination with geothermal energy to heat the campus all winter. Cornell University…
Climate goals expand impact of MIT waste-processing spinoff that capitalizes on a process called plasma gasification. Anyone who has ever hesitated in front of a…
A new nanomaterial helps obtain hydrogen from a liquid energy carrier, in a key step toward a stable and clean fuel source. Hydrogen is a…
Researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan have blended together various polymer and molecular semiconductors as photo-absorbers to create a solar cell with increased power efficiencies…
By some estimates, the amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the earth in one year is greater than the sum of all the…
The current world record tandem solar cell provided stable performance for 300 hours – even without encapsulation. An HZB team has published a report in…
Development of a microorganism that doubles the yield of biodiesel precursor production using genetic scissors and based on the principles of evolution; expected to reduce…
Solar fuels are fuels made from common substances like water and carbon dioxide using the energy of sunlight. There is vast energy in sunlight striking…
Maui, the second largest island within the Hawaiian Island/Emperor Seamount Chain, hosts one of the largest wind farms in the state. All 34 operational wind…
