NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has reached an incredible milestone, discovering more than 6,000 planets beyond our solar system. When Hubble launched in 1990, not a single exoplanet was known to exist.
The world's most powerful solar telescope just captured never-before-seen whirlpools on the Sun's surface that explain how dangerous space weather forms. Scientists say these breakthrough images will help us predict and protect against solar storms that can knock out power grids and satellites.
Scientists are about to unlock secrets from a frozen time capsule 3 billion miles away that's been waiting since our solar system was born. Powerful new telescopes will discover thousands of ancient objects that could rewrite what we know about how planets form.
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.
An Australian company is teaming up with a South Korean tech firm to mass-produce flexible solar panels that could power everything from satellites to drones. The partnership could make lightweight, bendable solar energy the new standard for hard-to-reach places.
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 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.
Scientists just solved a major solar panel manufacturing problem that was blocking the path to ultra-efficient solar cells. Their breakthrough brings silicon solar technology closer than ever to its maximum possible efficiency.
Brazil is preparing to add 47 GW of solar capacity over the next decade, pushing solar to become the country's second-largest electricity source. The plan would bring solar close to matching hydropower's dominant position in one of the world's renewable energy leaders.
Japanese researchers just set a world record for a new type of solar cell that could make future solar panels cheaper and more powerful. The breakthrough brings us closer to next-generation solar technology that captures more sunlight.
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.
Scientists just created flexible solar panels thinner than a human hair that turn sunlight into electricity better than anything before. The bendable cells could soon power everything from curved buildings to portable devices.
India's rapidly growing solar sector could soon supply European nations with solar panels and components, creating a major new trade opportunity. The country's push to build complete solar manufacturing capabilities has caught the attention of energy leaders worldwide. ##
Nordic Solar just flipped the switch on a massive 91-megawatt solar farm in Sweden, marking a major milestone for renewable energy in one of the world's northernmost nations. The project proves solar power works even in countries famous for long, dark winters.
Two American solar companies are teaming up to manufacture groundbreaking hybrid solar panels that generate 30% more power than traditional ones, using entirely U.S.-sourced materials. The partnership plans to produce 3 gigawatts of next-generation solar technology over five years, creating a competitive edge that goes beyond tax incentives.
Solar power just supplied a record 14.4% of Britain's electricity, and starting August 27, anyone can plug a solar kit into their wall socket without an electrician. For the first time, renters and apartment dwellers can join the solar revolution for around £400.
A UK-led space mission aims to create total solar eclipses on demand, giving scientists an unprecedented view of the sun's atmosphere to better forecast damaging solar storms. The innovation could protect our tech-dependent world from billion-dollar disruptions.
A new solar company just shattered records by taking a cutting-edge solar panel from concept to production in just 38 days. The breakthrough could make affordable, efficient solar power available to millions more homes.
After more than a decade and millions of hours of work, NASA engineers in Greenbelt, Maryland have completed a revolutionary space telescope that will scan the cosmos 100 times faster than Hubble. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launches this September to unlock mysteries of dark energy and discover thousands of new planets.
