Homes and a Sustainable Future: Five Key Steps to Reduce Environmental Impact
From hybrid boilers to home automation: the best solutions for energy efficiency
Wind turbines: here come the natural blades that can be recycled
Germany is testing natural wind turbines made of flax and balsa. Biodegradable, they're lighter than fiberglass. The prototype is expected to be ready in 2027.
TRISO: US Tests "Nuclear Marbles" for Safe Reactors
X-energy tests TRISO fuel for 13 months at Idaho Lab. Spheres the size of billiard balls that cannot melt.
MIT Injectable Antenna Eliminates Batteries in Medical Implants
The MIT magnetoelectric antenna is injected with a simple needle. It powers pacemakers and sensors without overheating. No more batteries to replace.
Mini-reactors: the race to modular nuclear power is in military interest
UK and US push mini-nuclear reactors to hide military costs: nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers pass billions on to civilians.
University of Manchester generates energy from train tunnels
Vertical turbines in tunnels harness the air displaced by trains: clean energy from the piston effect of railway trains.
France tests highway with inductive charging for vehicles
The A10 motorway is testing dynamic inductive charging: wireless power for electric vehicles as they travel, without stopping.
Energy saving, now the toilet becomes a mini hydroelectric
An Indian student turns a drain into a mini home generator. Twenty uses charge a phone.
Philéole, the compact urban wind farm for homes, boats, and highways
The Belgian mini turbine works everywhere: on boats it provides 626 watt hours per day, and on roads it harnesses 7.000 hours of wind per year. Urban vertical wind power for everyone.
Riboflavin and sugar: the battery that copies the human body
A battery powered by sugar and vitamin B2 beats platinum systems. Riboflavin acts as an electronic mediator, just as it does in the body.
Italian startup challenges giants with micro-wind turbines that learn the wind
GEVI Wind brings artificial intelligence to micro-wind power: blades that adapt to the wind every millisecond. They even work in cities.
Germany inaugurates the world's first vertical floating solar power plant
The first vertical floating solar plant debuts in Bavaria: panels positioned upright on the water produce energy from morning until night.
Cool Down: The Basement as an Air Conditioner for Home Cooling
Basement trumps air conditioning: A €4.600 home cooling system cuts utility bills by harnessing consistent underground temperatures.
CableKites, underwater ski lifts for energy from ocean currents
Munich is testing underwater kites that mimic ski lifts: they capture energy from currents at 0,6 m/s. The test was successful in the Isar Canal.
Ocean-2, low-cost electricity from waves
A bizarre sphere sails across Puget Sound: it's not a UFO, but Panthalassa's Ocean-2, which transforms waves into clean energy, defying rust and marine life.
UK, IKEA now sells solar panels (and you don't have to install them yourself)
IKEA UK sells home energy: solar, heat pumps, and car charging. Partnerships with Soly and Aira for installation and up to a 15-year warranty.
The Uruguay model: 100% renewables, no miracles. It's already won.
A professor, a plan, no compromises. And a country that now exports clean electricity. Let me tell you about the Uruguay model.
Energy from the world's most resilient plant waste
Pseudomonas putida converts indigestible plant waste into biofuel, producing six times more energy than normal.
Intelligent transparent crystal: absorbs and releases oxygen
Transparent crystal that becomes clearer when you breathe oxygen: self-adapting technology for homes and sustainable energy
Tibet's mega hydroelectric plant will fill an entire canyon.
China is launching the world's largest hydroelectric plant in Tibet, generating 300 billion kWh annually. India and Bangladesh fear water control.
EVs: AI Finds "Medicines" That Increase Battery Performance
Argonne Lab finds additives that heal batteries like drugs: AI discovers 125 combinations for super-performance
