Despite declining reserves and significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions contributing to climate change, fossil fuels continue to be the most widely used energy source globally.

MIT is co-leading an effort to enable the development of two new large-scale renewable energy projects in regions with carbon-intensive electrical grids: Big Elm Solar in Bell County, Texas, came online this year, and the Bowman Wind Project in Bowman County, North Dakota, is expected to be operational in 2026.

Electric Vehicles will now be able to go from zero battery power to an 80 per cent charge thanks to Researchers at the University of Waterloo who made a breakthrough in lithium-ion battery design to enable this extremely fast charging.

Before making predictions, Troch and his collaborators looked back in time.

The tropical coastlines of Southeast Asia are home to some of the most important and biodiverse marine ecosystems on the planet.

From June 2023 to August 2024, the world saw 15 months in a row of record-breaking heat, a stretch so extreme that it confounded scientists. A new animation from NASA shows the severity of warming.

New method offers potential for abundant energy savings, study finds.

A machine-learning tool developed by Mohamed Almetwally Ahmed and Sam Li provides accurate predictions for flood-prone areas.

Water scarcity threatens the viability of hydropower and agriculture.

Forests with few tree species pose considerably higher risk of being damaged and especially vulnerable is the introduced lodgepole pine.
