A wind turbine is a wing that happens to go in circles. Everything it does depends on one curved edge meeting the air at the right angle. Now put a crust of ice on that edge. Not a dusting. A ridged ...

Thousands of lakes beneath the Atlantic flyway bird migration route are being assessed for floating solar array viability. While energy planners consider 16,000 bodies of water in the northeastern ...

Stand on a dry, thorny plain in northeastern Brazil and look out toward the horizon. The land is dotted with low earth cones, one after another, as far as you can see. They sit in a strange, even grid ...

Panel prices crashed 70% and wiped out 87,000 solar manufacturing jobs, but in Wyoming, 75 GPS-collared pronghorn are threading the new fence gaps between ...

Detectors are spread across a plain in western Argentina, covering an area roughly 30 times the size of Paris. Built on this scale, the site measures some of the highest-energy particles that reach ...

Before a retired solar panel can be called anything official, somebody breaks it into pieces smaller than a fingernail. The pieces go into a sealed bottle of weak acid, and a rack turns that bottle ...

Electric eels don't just shock prey — they remotely fire a fish's own muscles at 600 volts, freezing it in 3 milliseconds and even flushing hidden fish fr ...

Discover how a rare red-footed booby stunned Maryland birders, marking a notable shift in wildlife patterns due to climate change and unusual weather.

Satellites built to spot wildfires began mistaking solar farms for flames, so engineers had to teach them which reflections to ignore and not report.

Walk past any wind turbine and the blades look permanent, monumental, as if they will turn forever above the same field. They will not. Most wind turbine blades last 20 to 25 years, and when they stop ...

A solar plant in Oregon requires its trucks to slow down to 10 miles per hour at nighttime because a ground squirrel might ...

An Argentine student's magnetic cement wall holds tools and frames with magnets alone. Here's how Ironplac works and why it ...
