A groundbreaking surf lagoon in Saudi Arabia just solved a problem engineers thought impossible: creating ocean-perfect waves using real seawater instead of freshwater. Surfers say it feels just like riding the real ocean.
South Koreans turned a record-breaking heat wave into an innovative celebration with headphone-based pool parties. The creative cooling solution kept dancers happy and neighbors peaceful during extreme temperatures.
Israel's first grid-connected wave energy station at Jaffa Port is turning ocean waves into clean electricity and proving the technology gets stronger as waves get bigger. The pilot project has run for over a year with zero downtime, generating real-world data that could transform how coastal cities power themselves.
The first large-scale wave energy testing facility on the continental U.S. coast just opened off Oregon, giving developers a place to test technologies that generate clean electricity from ocean waves. The site could help unlock an energy source with potential to power more than half of America's electrical needs.
University of Michigan researchers are testing wave-powered generators this week on Beaver Island, where 600 residents face frequent power outages during storms. The technology could provide clean, reliable electricity to the remote community that currently depends on mainland diesel generators and vulnerable underwater cables.
A Portland company just landed $140 million to build floating data centers that run on ocean waves instead of fossil fuels. The technology could solve one of AI's biggest environmental problems while creating clean energy from the sea.
A 14-story floating cylinder off Spain's coast just connected to the power grid, marking a major step toward turning ocean waves into clean electricity. After years of testing, the technology is finally proving it can survive real sea conditions and deliver power to homes.
A new wave energy device uses a spinning gyroscope to capture ocean power across all wave conditions, reaching maximum efficiency that previous designs could only dream of. This breakthrough could finally make wave energy a practical renewable power source.
A groundbreaking wave energy station just cleared a major hurdle in Portugal, bringing ocean-powered electricity one step closer to reality. This innovative system turns coastal waves into clean power without disrupting the environment.
Scientists just made it easier and cheaper to capture energy from ocean waves, which could power 60% of U.S. electricity needs. A new open-source system called MODAQ 2 gives developers the data they need to turn wave power into a reality.
Firefighters in California are testing technology that puts out fires using sound waves instead of water. The system uses infrasound to disrupt oxygen and stop flames in milliseconds.
A Caribbean island is piloting breakthrough technology that turns ocean waves into both clean electricity and fresh drinking water. The 50-megawatt project could help Barbados reach its ambitious net-zero goal by 2030.
Three of China's biggest solar manufacturers just created the country's first patent pool, ending years of costly legal battles and paving the way for faster, cheaper solar technology worldwide. The move could reshape how the global solar industry shares innovation.
A Florida cancer center is using ultrasound to destroy inoperable liver tumors without surgery, cuts, or the harsh side effects of traditional treatments. The breakthrough technology uses sound waves to turn cancer into harmless liquid the body naturally clears away.
A Los Angeles port once used for oil storage is now home to a groundbreaking wave energy system that could power nearly 60,000 homes. The two-year pilot project might finally unlock the ocean's untapped clean energy potential.
Scientists just solved one of wave energy's biggest problems with a custom part that captures eight times more power than standard equipment. The breakthrough could speed up clean energy innovation across the entire industry.
A new wave energy testing facility seven miles off Oregon's coast just opened to help turn ocean waves into clean electricity. The pre-permitted site could help America tap into enough wave power to light up millions of homes.
Brisbane just became the first major city to ban secret recording at public pools, protecting swimmers from hidden cameras in smart glasses. The new rules let lifeguards remove anyone filming without permission.
A new agricultural technology is helping Brazilian farmers grow more food while protecting crops from droughts and heat waves. Early trials show soybean and corn yields climbing up to 10% using a simple planting technique.
A Netherlands company just launched a floating wind turbine that tilts its blades to catch stronger winds and boost power output. The 2026 test could help wind farms generate more clean energy from the same ocean space.
