Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that uses a natural protein to create electricity from moisture in the air, a new technology they say could have significant implications for the future of renewable energy, climate change and in the future of medicine.

As climate changes and extreme weather events become more commonplace, we will need to fundamentally rethink how we produce renewable energy.

Hydropower dams, which use flowing water to turn a series of turbines to generate electricity, provide a source of energy that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels. But they also disrupt the flow of rivers, and impact the fish and people that live there.

Researchers at the University of Bath have developed a revolutionary desalination process that has the potential to be operated in mobile, solar-powered units.

Researchers at Chalmers ​recently completed a 5-year research project looking at how to make fibre optic communications systems more energy efficient.

UAlberta oceanographers overturn decades-old understanding of the iconic Canadian ocean system, with implications for hydroelectric power generation.

A new study reveals good news for the possibility of using perovskite materials in next-generation solar cells. 

Researchers from the University of Geneva have studied the seismic activity recorded during the drilling of a geothermal well and shown that it did not spark any major earthquake.

Human activity contaminated glacier long before people arrived, study shows.

Researchers track the charcoal supply chain through research in Uganda.
