For decades, the stability of an electricity grid depended on something surprisingly physical: enormous pieces of metal spinning inside ...
Most days, you can look up and see the Sun shining above. Even if it’s hidden behind clouds, you know it’s there, lighting up ...
A research team led by scientists from India’s Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering has developed a tree-type of PV-wind power system for off-grid applications. “A hybrid tree is a synthetic ...
Where does the solar system end and interstellar space begin? That's a question scientists have been working to answer using spacecraft traveling beyond the sun's influence. A team of researchers from ...
A lucky alignment of two sun-studying spacecraft may have finally solved a decades-old solar mystery. Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that ...
Scientists have identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful ...
The proton sharks showed up on a Friday. In a routine data calibration meeting for NASA's Parker Solar Probe in 2020, a small group of scientists were scrolling through visualizations of their data ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Scott L. Montgomery is a geologist who writes about energy issues. For more than a decade, energy and climate analysts have ...
In FERC’s latest monthly “Energy Infrastructure Update” report (with data through January 31, 2025), solar and wind combined accounted for more than 98% of new US electrical generating capacity added ...
About two years ago, I tested a portable wind turbine generator kit — the Shine Turbine. This $400 kit promised reliable power even when the clouds rolled in. It delivered on that promise. Not only ...
EIA’s latest monthly “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through July 31, 2025), once again confirms that solar is the fastest growing among the major sources of US electricity. In July alone, ...
In 2014, the Yoder family farm in Iowa embraced renewable energy by installing wind and solar power systems. This green initiative not only lowered their monthly electric bills significantly but also ...
