Scientists in China created a flowing zinc battery that keeps 81% of its power after 5,500 charging cycles, solving one of renewable energy's biggest problems. The breakthrough could finally let us store excess solar and wind energy for months without relying on fossil fuels.
A "crazy" 2012 goal to install 300 GW of solar panels annually by 2025 seemed impossible when the world was adding just 30 GW per year. The industry didn't just meet it—they more than doubled it.
Lagos State is teaming up with British Cycling to bring world-class cycling expertise to Africa's largest city. The partnership promises training programs, technical workshops, and a boost to cycling culture across Nigeria's bustling commercial hub.
A spacecraft witnessed how solar flares really begin, revealing they start as tiny magnetic ripples that cascade into massive explosions. The discovery could help us better predict when these powerful eruptions might disrupt life on Earth.
A floating solar farm off Taiwan's coast produces 12% more electricity than land-based solar panels, offering a breakthrough for space-strapped nations. The ocean installation also delivers higher profits while cutting emissions.
One of the world's largest solar manufacturers just teamed up to bring breakthrough solar technology from the lab to mass production. The new cells could make clean energy cheaper and more efficient than ever.
Cuba is accelerating one of the world's fastest transitions to solar energy, building dozens of new solar parks across the island. With help from Chinese technology, the island nation is transforming its energy landscape through surging imports of solar panels and batteries.
Cuba just generated 900MW of solar power in a single day, smashing its own record set just 24 hours earlier. The sunny island nation has skyrocketed from 6% to 20% solar energy in just one year.
One of India's leading solar manufacturers is launching a massive production facility that will help the country build its own clean energy future. The move comes as India pushes to reduce dependence on imported solar technology.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe flew closer to the Sun than any spacecraft in history, capturing the first real-time data on how solar wind forms. The breakthrough could help us predict space weather that affects satellites, communications, and life on Earth.
