Chinese scientists just solved solar energy's biggest problem by creating panels that are both highly efficient and long-lasting. The breakthrough could finally bring next-generation solar technology to your rooftop.
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.
America's surging energy demand has a surprisingly simple solution: use what we already have more efficiently. A new report shows smart energy use could meet future needs at half the cost of building new power plants.
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.
A fire-damaged Detroit home has been transformed into an energy-efficient headquarters that costs just $28 monthly to power. Now the nonprofit behind it is helping neighbors slash their own energy bills and stay in their homes.
America might not need massive new power plants to meet rising electricity demand. A new report shows that using energy smarter could cut usage by 8% and cost half as much as building new infrastructure.
Scientists created tiny gold spheres that absorb nearly 90% of sunlight's energy, almost doubling the efficiency of current solar technology. The breakthrough could make high-efficiency solar power far more accessible and affordable.
Scientists just achieved a record-breaking 27.17% efficiency in solar panels, smashing through a stubborn ceiling that's held back clean energy for years. This breakthrough could make solar power cheaper and more powerful for millions of homes.
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.
Maine added $3 billion to its economy through clean energy in 2024, with job growth three times faster than the state's overall workforce. The state is now leading all of New England in clean energy sector expansion.
