Sealed off for 3,320 megawatts on Sweden's Baltic shore, a 90-hectare basin stays open all winter long, and the small diving bird that now crowds its edges by the thousands was never written into any engineer's plan
9+ hour, 46+ min ago (783+ words) Every December, the Swedish coast north of Uppsala locks under ice. The bays go grey and still. Fish drop to the bottom, and the birds that depend on open water begin a long, cold search for somewhere to feed. But…...
In the Sea of Japan, a first-of-its-kind power plant is generating electricity from the moment fresh river water tries to mix with the sea
1+ week, 4+ day ago (597+ words) An innovative power plant in Japan is generating higher electricity output by using “blue energy.” As climate change accelerates, natural resources, such as drinking water, become scarcer worldwide. To mitigate the effects of global warming, nations are rushing to increase…...
China deployed 50,000 workers to seed clouds and fight drought by launching rockets to create a 'sky river', but scientists say the atmosphere has limits
1+ mon, 3+ day ago (548+ words) China is actively addressing droughts by seeding clouds and altering the atmosphere. Climate change has rendered global weather patterns highly volatile. This unpredictability and extreme conditions, such as prolonged droughts, are threatening the world’s food security and water supplies. As…...
Scientists found clean hydrogen hiding inside Earth's crust and now they know exactly where to look for it
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (452+ words) Hydrogen is easy to overlook—it has no color, no smell, and no visible presence in daily life. Yet it feeds roughly half the world’s population through fertilizer and sits at the center of nearly every serious plan to decarbonize…...
Light 10 billion times brighter than the Sun is now revealing where Earth quietly makes its own hydrogen
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (747+ words) At a facility in Harwell, UK, scientists have been pointing a beam of X-ray light—10 billion times brighter than the Sun—at fragments of ancient rock collected from bubbling springs in the Philippines. The target is the Diamond Light Source,…...
A MIT spin-off is using fusion reactor technology to drill the deepest holes ever attempted, chasing limitless geothermal energy 20 kilometers underground
2+ mon, 15+ hour ago (565+ words) An alternative approach to geothermal energy can unlock limitless, clean power globally. Uninterrupted, carbon-free baseload power is needed to meet the ever-rising energy demand. Currently, renewable options such as wind and solar present grid challenges due to intermittency. The world’s…...
USGS geologists mapped the Appalachian Mountains and found 2.3 million metric tons of lithium sitting beneath the eastern seaboard
2+ mon, 2+ week ago (653+ words) Beneath the hiking trails and autumn ridgelines of the Appalachian Mountains, something of enormous industrial consequence may have been sitting quietly underfoot for more than 300 million years. The USGS estimates that approximately 2.3 million metric tons of recoverable lithium oxide are…...
For decades, energy from volcanoes was a dream, until a supervolcano twice the size of Washington, D.C. began filling with magma after 7,300 years turning into a new opportunity
3+ mon, 2+ week ago (582+ words) The pressure to reach net-zero is starting to boil over, but a supervolcano’s reemerging energy could push the transition forward. For some nations, striking this balance is more difficult, as typical renewable energy projects are non-feasible. Could the reawakening of…...
