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.
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.
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.
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.
Sweden is putting $25 million toward clean energy projects that could transform how the country powers its future. Universities, companies, and researchers have until April 2026 to apply for funding to advance nuclear, wind, solar, and hydrogen solutions.
New research reveals that combining tax breaks for clean energy with penalties for polluters works better than either approach alone. The findings could reshape how governments fight climate change.
America's top science labs just received major funding to build AI systems that could revolutionize how we discover new materials, medicines, and clean energy solutions. The Genesis Mission aims to double research productivity within a decade by connecting supercomputers, AI, and experimental facilities nationwide.
Researchers designed the first standardized method for building wave energy converters, tech that could meet a third of U.S. electricity needs. The breakthrough could finally move ocean power from labs to real-world use.
New research from the University of Cambridge shows how South Africans are moving off the electricity grid in three distinct ways, but the trend is exposing deep inequalities that echo the country's apartheid past. The findings offer crucial insights for cities worldwide facing similar energy transitions.
European lawmakers just declared fusion energy is ready to move beyond research and into reality. They're calling for clear regulations to attract investors and make the EU a fusion powerhouse.
