Solar farms could become important refuges for bumblebees in Britain, a new study reveals - though their benefits only go so far.

Improved carbon-cement supercapacitors could turn the concrete around us into massive energy storage systems.

Solar energy is now so cost-effective that, in the sunniest countries, it costs as little as £0.02 to produce one unit of power, making it cheaper than electricity generated from coal, gas or wind, according to a new study from the University of Surrey.

Global electricity use is increasing rapidly and must be addressed sustainably. 

A team of researchers including Rice University’s James Tour and Shichen Xu has developed an ultrafast, one-step method to recover rare earth elements (REEs) from discarded magnets using an innovative approach that offers significant environmental and economic benefits over traditional recycling methods.

A common problem with oil wells is that they can run dry even when sound-based measurements say there’s still oil there. 

Electric space heating systems and appliances like water heaters can help American homeowners reduce their energy use, and possibly their utility bills, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

Public electric vehicle charging stations in America have a bad reputation.

A study co-led by ICN2 reveals that ice is a flexoelectric material, meaning it can produce electricity when unevenly deformed. 

“Climate change has already caused more than 12,000 species to shift their homes across land, freshwater and the sea,” says the University of Adelaide’s Dr Chloe Hayes, who has published a study on the new approach.
