However cheap the solar cell, the cost of building has slowed the growth of solar farms. Now a company out of Australia has found a way to unfold them like an accordion.

Revamped diesel technology breaks the link between the choice of engine and the kind of fuel needed to run it. Where will that opportunity lead?

A team of Singapore scientists has developed a way to make polymer electrolytes, which are key components for safer lithium-ion batteries, from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic bottles.

Crude oil prices are lower now than the inflation-adjusted prices of 2019 and 2021, but retail gasoline prices still are higher.

A tiny barrel within a barrel turns ocean swells into electricity.

City planners and product engineers don’t envision a future filled with large, cumbersome solar panels. New and efficient solar-power technology seeks to blends in and become indistinguishable from the real-life experience around them.

How do you keep the electricity flowing when the sun goes down? Part of the answer may be found in the stuff that unclogs your sink.

It’s never cloudy in space, which is why some engineers want to beam solar power from orbit.

Direct air capture of carbon dioxide is expensive. A recent discovery could make the process more efficient and cost effective, eventually.

Keeping track of energy use can be a big problem for small- band medium-sized manufacturers. Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s free VERIFI tool can help keep track and then predict energy use.

Geothermal heat could become a major source of clean energy in the coming decades, says the editor of a recent report.

There’s a dire need to clean up transoceanic shipping, but the technology isn’t keeping up with the demand.

A recent report recommends upgrading geothermal plants, like the one in the image, to extract the metal, crucial for EV batteries. Some companies are already moving in that direction.
