Drivers everywhere are moving closer to an affordable clean energy future as major automakers swap legacy gas guzzlers for modern electric rides. Ford is energizing that shift with an accessible new $28,350 electric truck and fresh plans for zero-emission family crossovers.
A Spanish explorer will cross 3,400 kilometers of Antarctica using only wind-powered kites and solar energy, proving sustainable polar exploration is possible. The 80-day expedition will conduct 16 scientific studies in regions where almost no data exists.
India's Supreme Court just approved redesigned firecrackers that cut emissions by 30% and reduce noise, offering a middle path between tradition and cleaner air. The new "green ladi" crackers burst slower and cleaner than conventional versions banned since 2018.
Scientists turned ordinary paper into wallpaper that generates electricity from humidity while controlling moisture levels in your home. The breakthrough could power sensors and smart devices without batteries or outlets.
Danish wind energy leader Vestas just launched its biggest land-based wind turbine after four years, proving that steady progress beats risky leaps in clean energy. The new V182-7.2 MW turbine gives wind farms more power without the gamble.
SparkLabs is launching a global competition offering $75,000 to climate startups, with winners announced at November's UN climate conference. African climate-tech companies attracted $1.5 billion in 2025, but most funding goes to just 20 companies.
A floating wind turbine off Norway's coast just completed five years of testing with near-perfect reliability, proving the technology works in harsh ocean conditions. The data gathered is already shaping the next generation of massive offshore wind farms.
A PhD student from Bihar built an air purifier from plants and natural materials that cuts indoor pollution by 85% in just 20 minutes, starting at just Rs 2,000 ($24). After living in 10 Indian cities and experiencing their varying air quality, he's making clean air affordable for ordinary families.
Researchers have solved one of solar power's biggest problems by creating toxic lead-free panels that stay stable for months instead of breaking down in days. The breakthrough brings safer, cleaner solar technology closer to reality.
Scientists created toxic-free solar panels that survive moisture and air for months, not days. The breakthrough brings safe, efficient solar power closer to your rooftop.
A tech company has created cleaner tires that slash pollution from electric vehicles by up to 35 percent while boosting driving range. ENSO is partnering with Uber and major fleets to tackle one of the biggest sources of microplastic pollution in our oceans.
University of Haifa scientists built a working boat from 1,600 reeds using Stone Age techniques, then successfully sailed it along the same coast where ancient communities lived 8,000 years ago. The experiment proves our ancestors could have navigated the Mediterranean with nothing but the materials nature provided.
