As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could help solar panels run cooler, last longer, and generate more power — without relying on energy-hungry equipment. A team led by the Indian Institute of ...

It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...

Battery costs have fallen sharply over the past two years. A steep drop in 2024 was followed by further declines in 2025, pushing storage within reach for dispatchable solar, according to Ember. The ...

The comet is the third object ever confirmed to have entered our cosmic neighborhood from elsewhere in the galaxy. Space telescopes and orbiters have been documenting the rare visit. A mysterious ...

This image presents a grid of color-enhanced astronomical observations, each depicting a circumstellar disc—structures of dust and gas surrounding stars. Every square in the grid represents a ...

Space-based solar power has long been pitched as a way to deliver uninterrupted, weather-proof renewable energy. First proposed in 1968 by aerospace engineer Peter Glaser, the idea has cycled through ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

Battery Breakthrough Could Make Solar Panels Cheaper and More Powerful A new salt-forming method gives perovskite solar cells a record 27.2% efficiency and improved long-term stability.

Our solar system appears to be moving through the universe far faster than standard cosmology says it should. A new study of radio galaxies by a team in Germany suggests the solar system’s motion ...

If you've ever hauled buckets up from a well or watched your generator struggle to keep a pump running, you know how valuable a reliable water system is, especially when you're off-grid. Enter ...
