In December 2022, California scientists achieved a major breakthrough -- a nuclear fusion reaction that produced more energy than was used to create it. Scientists have done it again and this time their results produced even more energy. Professor Peter Hosemann, chair of nuclear and mechanical eng...

The U.S. Department of Energy announced Tuesday a monumental milestone in nuclear fusion research: a "net energy gain" was achieved for the first time in history by scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm called it "one of the most...

Vortex is a new paradigm in renewable energy with wind generators which need no blades. ``The design of Vortex's generators offers a potentially revolutionary shift from today's traditional designs, blades and all.

A move towards sustainable energy is often talked about as an issue for big government, especially during the 2016 election. However, across the United States, progress is being made in biofuel, wind, and solar power at the grassroots. Atlantic national correspondent James Fallows and contributing w

The future of sea travel could be here -- and it just might help save the planet. A hydrogen-powered ferry that produces zero emissions will soon launch in the San Francisco bay.

US President Barack Obama has unveiled what he called "the biggest, most important step we have ever taken" in tackling climate change. The aim of the revised Clean Power Plan is to cut greenhouse gas emissions from US power stations by nearly a third within 15 years. The measures will place signifi...

Since 2008, Chicago has been implementing a series of strategies in its Climate Action Plan – an initiative that seeks to reduce the city’s greenhouse gas emissions by 80% below 1990 levels – and in 2019 committed to running the city on 100% renewable energy by 2040.

United Nations chief Antonio Guterres says a major new report on climate change is a "survival guide for humanity". Clean energy and technology can be exploited to avoid the growing climate disaster, the report says. But at a meeting in Switzerland to agree their findings, climate scientists warne...

Finland is building the largest and most powerful nuclear reactor in Europe - and may have worked out what to do with spent nuclear fuel once and for all. Discover how to build in 2030 with Bluebeam.

For The Verge and Curbed’s home of the future, renewable energy generation is directly integrated into the design of the house. Grant Imahara experiences how the home of the future can both generate its own power and reduce how much energy it needs.
