If executed at the scale, Musk's orbital data center plan could have devastating effects on the environment and the ...

The prospect of heat waves without end, increasingly destructive floods, relentless drought, rapidly rising sea levels, and the risk of “point of no return” tipping points require humanity to swiftly ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

Engineers affiliated with the China Academy of Space Technology and its Qian Xuesen Laboratory have laid out a concrete technical roadmap for building a kilometer-scale solar power station in orbit, ...

Voyager caught Uranus in a rare magnetic storm, and a 40-year mystery became a mission case for understanding volatile ice ...

Solar radiation warms and illuminates our planet. It is the primary driver behind the movement of clouds and wind, helps keep us warm, and governs activity through daily and seasonal cycles. However, ...

Perovskite solar cells operated for months in low Earth orbit and tolerated radiation equivalent to decades in space, marking the most comprehensive orbital test of the technology.

Orbital data center proponents often say that thermal management is “free” in space, but that’s an oversimplification.

The planet's radius from pole to center has been revised to 66,842 km, and at the equator to 71,488 km. That makes it about ...

Greetings stargazers. The current sunspot cycle maximum continues to amaze. Several times during the past year, the Aurora ...

Terrestrial Energy offers an attractive asymmetric return profile, especially on a relative basis versus other SMR plays, with good chances of gaining regulatory approvals and commercial adoption.
