A new report and map published by the U.S. Geological Survey provides critical insight to electric power grid operators across the northeastern United States in the event of a once-per-century magnetic superstorm.  

Increasing evidence has sprung up that important key players in the methane cycle have been overlooked.

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have discovered a method of plastics upcycling—transforming discarded products into new, high-value materials of better quality and environmental value—that could economically incentivize the recycling of waste plastics and help solve one of the world’s most looming pollution problems.

Finding the best light-harvesting chemicals for use in solar cells can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. 

Biofuel experts have long sought a more economically viable way to turn algae into biocrude oil to power vehicles, ships and even jets.

All rooftop solar panels look pretty much the same from the outside: same size, same thickness and even the same installation system.

In the fight to slow climate change, nature is a powerful weapon.

To stabilize the Earth’s climate for people and ecosystems, it is imperative to ramp up natural climate solutions and, at the same time, accelerate mitigation efforts across the energy and industrial sectors, according to a new policy perspective published today in Science. 

The rooftops of Calgary are one hot commodity when it comes to solar panel potential, suggests a new study from the Schulich School of Engineering.
