Power-generation through the use of solar updraft towers is a fairly old concept that has only been tried at small scales until now. A more ambitious solar updraft project is underway. I dunno, maybe ...

Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a "twin technology solar system" (TTSS) capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than ...

Chile's Atacama Desert is as eerily beautiful as it is barren, hot, and dry. Yet this seemingly inhospitable patch of Earth might be the perfect host for a different kind of solar energy, one that has ...

We think of the power we generate as coming from all these different kinds of sources. Oil, gas, coal, nuclear, wind… so varied! And yet they all fundamentally come down to moving a gas through a ...

You may have heard it before, but I'll say it again: Solar power is about to become the next big thing. Seriously, I mean it this time -- and quite literally too. That's because EnviroMission, an ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking new method to double the energy output of a type of solar power station – an advance that could provide enough energy for over 750 homes. The study ...
