Some $155 billion was invested in 2008 in clean energy companies and projects worldwide, not including large hydro.

Approximately a third of the electricity consumed by large data centers doesn’t power the computer servers that conduct online transactions, serve Web pages or store information. Instead, that electricity must be used for cooling the servers.

The Gulf of Mexico contains very thick and concentrated gas-hydrate-bearing reservoir rocks which have the potential to produce gas using current technology.

True muonium,” a long-theorized but never-seen tiny atom, might be observed in current and future super collider experiments.

Penn State materials researchers have reported the largest known energy storage capacity for a bulk glass, making it a potential new candidate for capacitors for electric vehicles and portable power applications.

For the first time, MIT researchers have shown they can genetically engineer viruses to build both the positively and negatively charged ends of a lithium-ion battery.

Researchers have developed a critical part of a hydrogen storage system for cars that makes it possible to fill up a vehicle's fuel tank within five minutes with enough hydrogen to drive 300 miles.

The sunspot cycle is behaving a little like the stock market. Just when you think it has hit bottom, it goes even lower.

Researchers have developed new systems for storing electrical energy derived from alternative sources that are, in some cases, 10 times more efficient than what is commercially available.

MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material.
