While floating solar – the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water – is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.

An unassuming plant—considered a noxious weed by some—may be the key to fueling a green economy in the U.S.

Researchers from The University of Queensland are shining a light on the link between greenspace exposure and better health in the hope of influencing future urban greening policies.

A next-generation vertical wind turbine is set to be put on trial south of Adelaide in a novel research collaboration between Flinders University and South Australian start-up company VAWT-X Energy.

While climate change is likely to present significant challenges to agriculture in coming decades, it could also mean that crops such as chickpeas, soybeans and oranges are widely grown across the UK, and home-produced hummus, tofu and marmalade are a common sight on our supermarket shelves by 2080.

How can seagrass help combat climate change?

As climate change leads to more frequent and intense extreme precipitation events, accurately predicting rainfall during the flood season has become increasingly critical.

Researchers analysed the ‘health’ of every vehicle on UK roads to provide a comprehensive analysis of survival rates for different powertrains.

Computer-modeled water level data fills gaps between tide stations along the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf coasts.

Perovskite solar cells are a flexible and sustainable alternative to conventional silicon-based solar cells. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are part of an international team that was able to find – within only a few weeks – new organic molecules that increase the efficiency of perovskite solar cells.
