University of Texas at Dallas researchers have discovered that a novel surface they developed to harvest water from the air encourages tiny water droplets to move spontaneously into larger droplets.

Floating solar farms could help to protect lakes and reservoirs from some of the harms of climate change, a new study suggests.

The world needs more electricity. As populations grow, standards of living increase and more people gain access to modern conveniences, countries will need to expand their energy generation capacity.

After eight months of research, deliberation, discussion and numerous town halls, the Academic Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Divestment and Strategic Reinvestment Investigations has published a preliminary draft report detailing recommendations for the University of Utah to divest its holdings in the fossil fuel industry and reinvest in renewable resources.

UC Santa Cruz researchers published a new study—in collaboration with UC Water and the Sierra Nevada Research Institute at UC Merced—that suggests covering California’s 6,350 km network of public water delivery canals with solar panels could be an economically feasible means of advancing both renewable energy and water conservation.

In response to the recent freeze-inspired power outages in Texas, some politicians blamed the historic blackouts on wind turbines.

The NASA-funded Seismometer to Investigate Ice and Ocean Structure (SIIOS) performed well in seismic experiments conducted in snowy summer Greenland, according to a new study by the SIIOS team led by the University of Arizona published this week in Seismological Research Letters.

A recent study shows that lettuce can be grown in greenhouses that filter out wavelengths of light used to generate solar power, demonstrating the feasibility of using see-through solar panels in greenhouses to generate electricity.

A characteristic feature of complex systems is that when they double in size, many of their parts do not. 

It’s not uncommon for crescent-shaped swaths of sand to dot the shorelines of meandering rivers.
