German energy company RWE said it would step up its investment in renewable energy on Monday, as the country's potential new government plans an earlier exit from coal.
After decades of inertial confinement fusion research, a record yield of more than 1.3 megajoules (MJ) from fusion reactions was achieved in the laboratory for…
The U.S. scientific community is currently conceptualizing the first nuclear fusion power plants, which will revolutionize energy production.
The UAE, one of the world's top crude exporters, said a recent UN climate summit in Glasgow was a "success" but that the world needs to keep investing billions in oil and gas.
Future fusion reactors have a conundrum: maintain a plasma core that is hotter than the surface of the sun without melting the walls that contain the plasma.
UN climate change summit host Boris Johnson, on Sunday hailed a last-ditch agreement to tackle global warming but said he was disappointed it did not go further on tackling use of high-polluting coal.
Nearly 200 nations came together Saturday on a global deal to combat climate change after two weeks of painful negotiation, but fell short of what science says is needed to contain dangerous temperature rises.
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a scalable, low-cost method to improve the joining of materials in…
Researchers from the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) and the University of Sao Paulo have developed a new analysis technique that will help scientists improve renewable energy storage by making better supercapacitors.
A new draft COP26 statement called on nations to ease reliance on fossil fuels and boost funding to help vulnerable nations face the climate crisis as talks entered their final hours on Friday.
By watering bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris) with a solution that contains conjugated oligomers, researchers at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics…
China is the world's largest producer of hydrogen - currently chiefly an industrial feedstock consumed by the chemical and refining industries - and overwhelmingly produces it from coal emitting CO2, termed "black" hydrogen.
The United Arab Emirates accepts that oil is not its future despite being one of the world's top exporters, a visiting delegation of US politicians told AFP on Friday.
In the quest for fusion energy, understanding how radio-frequency (RF) waves travel (or "propagate") in the turbulent interior of a fusion furnace is crucial to maintaining an efficient, continuously operating power plant.
Alkaline fuel cells (AFC) convert the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen into electrical energy, while only producing water as a by-product.
Helping vulnerable nations cope with the multiplier effect of climate change on droughts, flooding, heatwaves and tropical mega-storms will require trillions of dollars, not the billions now on the table at COP26, a draft UN report obtained by AFP reveals.
