A proposed constellation of satellites has astronomers very worried. Unlike satellites that reflect sunlight and produce light pollution as an unfortunate byproduct, the ones by US startup Reflect Orbital would produce light pollution by design.This […]

Solar power generation largely depends on weather conditions. When generation deviates from the planned output, the electricity market imposes penalty fees called “imbalance penalties.” Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based […]

OpenAI’s recent rollout of its new video generator Sora 2 marks a watershed moment in AI. Its ability to generate minutes of hyper-realistic footage from a few lines of text is astonishing, and has raised […]

New research from the University of Michigan and Ford Motor Co. shows that the United States could mine enough graphite to build batteries for electric vehicles and other applications, but economics and geopolitics make it […]

Under current supply chain conditions, the United States is on track to fall significantly short of surging demand for three clean energy sources—wind, solar, and battery—due to the scarcity of critical raw materials, according to […]

Lots of single-use water bottles made from poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) end up in landfills, but there’s a growing interest in upcycling them instead. Researchers in Energy & Fuels report on new heat-based fabrication methods to […]
