As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.

Every once in a while, the outer solar system reminds us that we've only discovered a negligible portion of it, and that the vast majority is still full of surprises. The latest example of this is a ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could help solar panels run cooler, last longer, and generate more power — without relying on energy-hungry equipment. A team led by the Indian Institute of ...

HELSINKI — China has published coordinated papers outlining dual missions to the solar system’s edge, suggesting the long-studied project is nearing formal approval. A lead paper on the design and key ...

This morning on The Rhode Show, we welcomed Know Solar, the company that’s flipping the script on how you go solar. Instead of chasing multiple installers and juggling quotes, Know Solar makes solar ...

3I/ATLAS has now made its closest approach to the sun and Earth and is now heading back out toward the outer solar system. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The research reached a surprising conclusion that dual-axis solar tracker systems are more land-intensive per kW than single-axis trackers or fixed-tilt systems. The study’s data-driven approach ...

It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...

Researchers in Spain are working on the nano scale to identify better heat-catching surfaces for concentrated solar power stations — and nanoneedles are proving more efficient for the task than ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...
