Researchers have been on a long quest to harness carbon-free energy from natural processes, from tapping into tidal forces to mimicking the fusion reactions that occur in stars. Now, a team of ...

For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to geothermal heat. Now a small group of physicists says Earth’s own magnetic ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

A satellite no bigger than a washing machine could soon take a major step toward reshaping the future of clean energy. Japan is preparing to launch a spacecraft that will send solar energy wirelessly ...

Like nuclear fusion, the idea of space-based solar power has always seemed like a futuristic technology with an actual deployment into communities ever remaining a couple of decades away. The concept ...

It’s always interesting when we are presented with very different and knowledgeable perspectives about the feasibility of a proposed technological advance. I recently had this experience when I saw ...

Forward-looking: Recent tests have proven that beaming solar energy to Earth from low-orbiting satellites is theoretically possible with existing technology. If implemented, the method could resolve ...

By Shreepoorna S Rao For the last thirty years, most of the world’s Earth data has come from satellites. That architecture ...
