China is racing to launch six new reusable rockets in the coming months, marking a major leap in affordable space access. The surge of state and commercial launches aims to ease bottlenecks and boost the country's growing satellite networks.
A French startup just solved two problems at once: generating clean energy while cutting costs for refrigerated trucks. Their giant solar carports shade trucks from heat and power refrigeration units with sunshine.
A lightweight folding e-bike now charges via USB-C, turning any laptop charger into a power source. At under 42 pounds and €999, it's making portable urban biking more accessible than ever.
A new heat pump from UK company Alpha runs on propane instead of harmful refrigerants and keeps homes warm even in freezing temperatures. The technology could make eco-friendly heating work in more climates around the world.
The electric vehicle battery recycling challenge everyone predicted for the future is already here, and the industry is building smart solutions. Companies are creating systems to repair, reuse, and recover valuable materials from EV batteries before they become waste.
A tech veteran who built a net-zero home calls the process "brutal." Now he's making clean energy simple enough that anyone can adopt it.
Scientists in Germany have cracked a major problem in solar technology by creating panels that keep 98% of their power after years of UV exposure. The breakthrough could make lightweight solar panels far more durable and efficient.
Scientists have developed a plastic made from hemp that matches the strength and durability of traditional PET plastic used in bottles and packaging. This plant-based breakthrough could offer a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics.
Malaysia Aviation Group slashed over 103,000 tonnes of carbon emissions in 2025 through modern aircraft and smarter flight operations. The airline's sustainability wins show how the aviation industry can fly greener without waiting for distant breakthroughs.
A new accelerator program is offering African green-tech founders up to €80,000 in grants plus a year of expert mentorship. The three-month intensive launches this August in Cape Town.
Planes at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport are now taxiing without their jet engines, slashing fuel use and carbon emissions on the ground. The robotic tractor system could cut taxi fuel consumption by 65% if rolled out across Europe's airports.
An Egyptian bus maker just closed one of Africa's biggest green tech export deals, sending 35 hydrogen-powered buses to the Austrian Alps. The zero-emission fleet will transform public transit across an entire Austrian region starting this June.
Denver is turning its sewage system into a clean energy source to help reach its zero emissions goal by 2040. The city will pilot a thermal network that captures heat from wastewater to warm and cool buildings.
Scientists have cracked the code on recycling old electronics with a chemical process that pulls gold and copper from phones and laptops without toxic melting. With 93.5 million tonnes of e-waste heading to landfills by 2030, this breakthrough could turn trash into treasure.
Scientists have cracked one of climate's toughest problems: making cement without wrecking the planet. The breakthrough uses electricity and recycled concrete to slash carbon emissions from an industry dirtier than aviation.
Inspired by how penguins regulate their body temperature, researchers have invented a two-sided material that can switch between heating and cooling modes automatically. The breakthrough could eliminate the frustration of buildings that waste energy staying too warm in winter or too cool in summer.
Rabbalshede Kraft just secured government approval to build a new wind project in Sweden, adding more clean power to the nation's renewable energy grid. The approval marks another step forward in Sweden's commitment to carbon-free electricity.
University of Birmingham researchers discovered a breakthrough catalyst that produces clean hydrogen at far lower temperatures, potentially making green fuel cheap enough to compete with fossil fuels. The innovation could turn industrial waste heat into free energy for hydrogen production.
The new Vado 3 X e-bike blurs the line between weekday commuter and weekend adventure machine. With full suspension and powerful features, it's built for riders who refuse to choose between city convenience and trail exploration.
The world's largest smartphone case company just deployed an AI-powered floating platform off Taiwan's coast to collect ocean plastic. RHINOSHIELD spent 18 months and $2 million creating Circular Blue, an autonomous system that could change how we fight marine pollution.
