The biggest stories from this week include the conclusions of discussions at COP30, the relationship between space solar and ...

Cooling Earth through solar geoengineering may not secure the future of coffee, cacao, and wine grapes. Researchers say unstable rainfall and humidity still threaten harvests despite temperature ...

Over the last few years, we've been keeping tabs on a cooling system developed by a team led by Professor Shanhui Fan at Stanford University that draws thermal heat from a building and beams it into ...

Passive cooling, like the shade a tree provides, has been around forever. Recently, researchers have been exploring how to turbo charge a passive cooling technique — known as radiative or sky cooling ...

Heating and cooling buildings is a major consumer of energy, especially older ones that weren’t built with modern energy efficiencies in mind. Now, engineers at Fraunhofer Institute have developed a ...

The seawater-based PV array achieved the lowest electricity generation cost and outperformed both tap-water and desalinated-water-based arrays in terms of module lifespan. The desalinated-water-based ...

Researchers in Australia have looked at how rooftop PV generation used to run air conditioners (AC) to pre-cool residential and commercial buildings may improve cost savings for households, while ...

Congressional Republicans phased out the credits early in the tax and spending law they passed this summer. The federal ...

The sun may be dimming, temporarily. Don't panic; Earth is not going to freeze over. But will the resulting cooling put a dent in the global warming trend? A periodic solar event called a "grand ...
