Solar panels often get a bad rap for spoiling the appearance of homes and businesses. Yet, this may be about to change.

Our hybrid construction approach creates a building system that is structurally efficient, easily replicable and materially responsive.

The photovoltaic effect of ferroelectric crystals can be increased 1,000x if three different materials are arranged in a lattice.

According to the UN, less than a quarter of all U.S. electronic waste gets recycled. In 2021, global e-waste surged at 57.5 million tons.

An ultrathin invention could make future computing, sensing and encryption technologies remarkably smaller and more powerful.

New technology, for the first time, can harvest water 24 hours around the clock, with no energy input, even under the blazing sun.

The new method more efficiently converts plastics to valuable commodity chemicals—a process termed “upcycling” that produces less methane.

MIT researchers have developed a portable desalination unit, weighing less than 10 kg, that can remove particles and salts from seawater.

Earth is as friendly to life as any planet could possibly be — or is it? If Jupiter’s orbit changes, Earth could become more hospitable.

Imagine being able to generate electricity by harnessing moisture in the air around you with just everyday items like sea salt and fabric.

Plants use light waves from only a portion of the spectrum for photosynthesis—the remainder can be recovered and used to make solar power.

A new desalination technology will significantly reduce the cost of desalination and quadruple the volume of production using solar energy.

Researchers have developed a simple method to make surfaces superhydrophobic — that is, very water-repellant — without chemicals.

Plants lengthen and bend to secure access to sunlight. Despite observing this phenomenon for centuries, scientists do not fully understand.

With energy prices rising rapidly, a new startup could have the answer - technology that harnesses energy from fluctuations in humidity.

The heat engine converts heat to electricity with over 40 percent efficiency — a performance better than that of traditional steam turbines.

By harvesting water vapor from the air and condensing it into liquid, atmospheric water generators can essentially pull water from the air.

Arizona startup, has literally reinvented the wheel. They developed a new type of wheel that ditches the need for pollutive rubber tires.

Researchers showed that a collection of quantum batteries can lead to an enormous improvement in charging speed.

They are showing off an adaptive heat-managing composite material they helped develop that is nicknamed after its inspiration: squid skin.
