However, it appears odd that reporters would highlight offshore wind farms as a vulnerability. At the recent launch of consultation about the 8 GW offshore wind farms planned for the Newcastle (NSW, Australia) […]

Unexpected Crystalline Structure Explains Mechanism of Long-Used Solar Cell Treatment and Hints That Further Materials Discoveries Await For more than three decades, photovoltaic researchers have known that the addition of a single chemical — cadmium chloride — creates better-performing cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells. But they have not understood exactly why — until now. The […]

Young climate activists are making a real impression on legislators around the world. Often still in high school, these inspired teens are gaining momentum due to increased fluency in messaging, networking, and lobbying.

Kids are sponges when it comes to learning about renewable energy, and hands-on, experiential activities are fun ways to make zero emissions living tangible.
