Nuclear fusion promises a virtually limitless, sustainable energy source via processes similar to those powering the Sun, provided some rather tricky and fundamental physics problems can be figured out first.
In the world of solar cell technology, perovskite materials are poised to take on the current reigning champion silicon, but their stability is holding them back. Now, scientists in China have developed a new type of hybrid perovskite.
A fusion reactor in southern France, called WEST, just achieved an important milestone that brings us one step closer to clean, sustainable, nearly limitless energy.
A potentially game-changing and largely unexplored energy jackpot lies beneath the ocean floor. Unique conditions under the sea bed promise cheaper and more accessible geothermal power.
The JET tokamak set a new world record for generating energy from nuclear fusion during its final experiment.
Icelandic scientists are embarking on a groundbreaking project to tap into a volcano's magma chamber for an abundant source of super-hot geothermal energy.
Japan's joint fusion reactor project with the European Union (EU), the JT-60SA, was inaugurated in Naka, Japan on Friday, marking the start of experimental operations for the world's biggest and most advanced tokamak.
Such a breakthrough could one day help curb climate change if companies can scale up the technology to a commercial level in the coming decades.
The MAPLE experiment was able to wirelessly transfer collected solar power to receivers in space and direct energy to Earth
Ions inside a compact fusion reactor barely a meter across have been heated to the magic figure of 100 million degrees Celsius for the first time in a monumental step towards making nuclear fusion energy a practical reality.
Scientists in the US have developed a device that can harvest humidity in the air to create a clean electricity supply. According to the researchers “nearly any material can be turned into a device that harvests electricity from air”.
The record-breaking 2022 EU solar market is 38% or 10 GW higher than what SolarPower Europe expected one year ago.
A professor is reporting on a new type of solar energy harvesting system that breaks the efficiency record of all existing technologies. And no less important, it clears the way to use solar power 24/7.
A team of researchers have produced a novel molecule that could be used to allow hydrogen to be made from solar energy on demand—even when the Sun is not out.
In a new world record, China's "artificial sun" project has sustained a nuclear fusion reaction for more than 17 min. Superheated plasma reached almost 70 million degrees C— that's roughly five times hotter than the sun.
