How wasted infrared light could boost solar panels, night vision and 3D printing by Tom Melville, University of New South Wales edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...

As the expansion of renewable energy accelerates across Europe, solar developers face a dual responsibility: delivering clean energy at scale while protecting local ecosystems. For Urbasolar, the ...

Astronomers have spotted something surprising in the far outer Solar System—a faint, short-lived atmosphere clinging to a tiny icy world that shouldn’t be able to hold one at all. The object, called ...

The atmosphere is between 5 million and 10 million times thinner than Earth's atmosphere. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A very ...

Some 4.6 billion years ago, when the solar system was born from a vast cloud that collapsed to form the sun and a surrounding disk of whirling gas, no planets yet orbited our star. Back then, besides ...

Harnessing the Sun’s energy is one of the cleanest ways to generate electricity on Earth. It does, however, come with an obvious limitation. Once darkness falls, solar panels stop generating ...

Texas-based 3D-printed construction and architecture pioneer ICON announced the commercial rollout of new machines, described as a “multi-story robotic construction system.” The Titan is designed to ...

The standard story of the origin of our solar system has gone like this: 4.6 billion years ago, a giant cloud of dust hung frozen in space. Then the explosion of a nearby star caused part of that dust ...

Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers who discovered it using telescopes from NASA and the European Space Agency, ...
