"[I]f the Texas drilling industry drilled as many geothermal wells as it currently does oil and gas... the state could run itself off geothermal power by 2027."

Only a few weeks after the successful public offering of Array Technologies proved that there’s a market for technologies aimed at improving efficiencies across the solar manufacturing and installation chain, Leading...

As sustainability measures become increasingly important in new construction, architects around the world are turning toward mass timber — even for large-scale projects...

Is China turning the tide on pollution? The country stands to benefit not just environmentally, but financially as well. A new MIT study found if China reduces carbon dioxide emissions by four percent a year, the nation could...

Scientists used to make graphene-based membranes in small batches in a laboratory. But a new breakthrough at MIT enables researchers to roll out large sheets of high-quality graphene. The continuous manufacturing process...

Have you ever wished you could simply think a command and your computer would respond? That's the future envisioned by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers who created AlterEgo, a wearable system that allows...

A brand new power-generating system from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers creates energy "out of what seems like nothing," according to chemical engineering professor Michael Strano in a statement...

Glowing plants might sound like the stuff of science fiction - but a team of MIT researchers just grew a crop of watercress that emits emit dim light for almost four hours...

If humans start constructing cities on Mars, we have an opportunity to build sustainably from the start. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) team designed an environmentally friendly city for the red planet that...

Heat is often plentiful during the daytime for people in developing countries - but at night, when they're cooking and the sun is down, they don't typically have access to that heat and must use a material like dung or wood...

Fusion powers the sun, and if we could harness it here on Earth, we could obtain unlimited clean energy. Scientists have been working on that goal for years, and now researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory, Massachusetts...
