New Mexico just pumped $31.2 million into a university energy lab that will make electricity cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable for communities statewide. The upgrade turns a campus research center into a proving ground where breakthrough power technologies get tested before reaching your home.
Scientists are turning wind energy's biggest challenges into opportunities by studying how the atmosphere really works. Johns Hopkins researcher Julie Lundquist shows how understanding wind patterns, turbine interactions, and weather extremes can make renewable energy more reliable than ever.
Ethiopia is teaming up with Italy to explore peaceful nuclear energy development, aiming to power the country's growing industries with reliable electricity. The partnership could help Ethiopia diversify beyond hydropower while building scientific expertise for the future.
This summer, nearly 250 students from across America are getting hands-on experience at the National Laboratory of the Rockies, working on breakthrough technologies from faster microchips to next-generation batteries. These young researchers are solving real problems that will shape our energy future.
A chemical engineering student who toured a nuclear power plant as a kid just won a NASA scholarship to develop sustainable energy systems that could power both Earth and space missions. His research focuses on bringing clean water and carbon-free energy to communities that need it most.
Kazakhstan and China just opened a cutting-edge hydrogen energy research center that will train the next generation of clean energy engineers. The partnership brings together universities and industry to turn green energy innovations into real-world solutions.
A Japanese researcher has cracked a major puzzle in renewable energy: how to efficiently capture power from ocean waves at any frequency. The breakthrough gyroscopic device could finally make wave power a reliable clean energy source.
Japanese researchers just achieved 130% energy conversion efficiency in solar technology, smashing through a barrier scientists thought was absolute. The breakthrough uses a "spin-flip" technique that multiplies energy from single photons of sunlight.
MIT researchers just gave the fusion energy industry something it desperately needed: a clear way to prove these power plants can actually make money. Their new framework could unlock the funding needed to bring clean, abundant fusion energy from the lab to your home.
Germany is launching three national fusion energy research hubs with $426 million in initial funding, bringing the country closer to building the world's first commercial fusion power plant. The hubs unite startups, research institutes, and major energy companies to turn scientific breakthroughs into real-world clean energy.
American researchers just created a "digital twin" system that lets engineers perfect tidal turbines before building them, slashing costs and speeding up clean ocean energy. Meanwhile, the largest tidal energy project on Earth is taking shape across the Atlantic.
South Korea is investing 99% more in fusion energy research this year, nearly doubling its budget to $84 million as it races toward building a demonstration reactor that could provide limitless clean power. The bold plan combines cutting-edge AI with multiple fusion approaches to turn the sun's energy principle into reality on Earth.
India and Norway just formalized five major partnerships to advance offshore wind, ocean energy, and sustainable technology. The collaborations connect top research institutions from both nations to tackle climate challenges together.
A nearly €1 billion EU program is turning clean energy dreams into reality across Europe, funding thousands of local projects that have already saved enough energy to power every home in Ireland for a year. Real people like Ivana, Luca, and Angela are proving that Europe's green transition isn't just policy talk anymore.
Britain's £1 billion commitment to community energy projects marks a turning point, but researchers say success depends on supporting the volunteers who power the movement. A new study reveals the "quiet labor" behind local energy transitions matters as much as the money.
Britain is making it easier to build windfarms and solar projects that will lower energy bills and boost energy security. The new plan protects critical clean energy infrastructure from lengthy legal delays.
Texas A&M University has joined the Genesis Mission, a groundbreaking national initiative using artificial intelligence to transform scientific discovery. Four university projects will help tackle critical challenges in energy, mineral security, and nuclear technology.
America just produced more energy than ever before, with solar and wind power hitting new records alongside natural gas and oil. The milestone marks four straight years of growth and shows clean energy thriving in the national energy mix.
In just 23 days after global conflict disrupted oil supplies, home solar requests jumped 21% as Americans sought control over their energy future. After 50 years of advocacy, it's uncertainty—not ideology—that's finally driving the clean energy revolution.
America's renewable energy output reached a record 9.18 quadrillion Btu in 2025, nearly five times what it was in 1950. Wind, solar, and biofuels have surged more than 1,700% since 2000, fundamentally reshaping the nation's energy landscape.
