Thermoelectric generators get a boost—now they can supply enough renewable energy to power small devices both day and night.
Renewable energy sources include wind, solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric power. In the battle for renewable energy, which will come out on top? Which do you want?
Several improvements in emerging battery technology have turned renewable energy into a more affordable and more reliable energy solution.
There are potential benefits for everyone when governments support the advancement of solar technology and economic development plans for equitable energy.
The Covid-19 pandemic has taken a horrific toll on human lives, there is at least one bright spot: a global drop in carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels like coal and oil.
Cheaper, better solar power? Harnessing the power of the sun might finally become easier and less expensive thanks to new research into organic sensitizers.
By Emily Folk @EmilySFolk Growing concerns about fossil fuels—especially their potential contributions to pollution and global warming—have individuals and governments…
The world is increasing its use of renewable energy, but which energy source is best? The key lies in diversifying renewable energy.
There are potential benefits for everyone when governments support the advancement of solar technology and economic development plans that encourage its distribution.
