California manages a massive network of canals spanning nearly 4,000 miles in total, supplying water throughout the state. With promising new prospects on the riverbank, these canals could become a source of renewable power for the state. Project Nexus, a pilot initiative funded by California’s government in partnership with Solar AquaGrid, the Turlock Irrigation District,...
Solar energy is often praised for being cleaner and more sustainable than other power sources. For example, fossil fuels are finite, their sources are depleting, and they cause air pollution. Meanwhile, solar energy uses sunrays, which are unlimited and abundant (albeit weather-dependent). However, there’s an aspect to solar energy that is not environmentally friendly: land...
Your diet affects your sex life more than you think. What you eat can change your energy, your mood, and even how long your body keeps going when things get heated. When you focus on a healthy diet and sexual health, you’re not just helping your body look good; you’re helping it work better. Your...
On the far south-eastern edge of Western Australia, a group of partners is planning to build something massive: the Western Green Energy Hub (WGEH). Picture a huge clean-energy estate on the world’s largest single exposure of limestone bedrock, called the Nullarbor. There, the constant wind and hot sun are harnessed to create “green” hydrogen and...
Seven countries now generate almost 100% of their electricity from renewable energy sources. This major milestone proves that a fully green power grid is more than just a future goal, it is already a reality in parts of the world. As climate concerns mount and fossil fuel dependence continues to cause global tensions, these nations...
The Delft University backed start-up Respyre has developed technology that might revolutionize urban landscapes through integrating biodiversity into concrete. As cities worldwide battle with rising temperatures and air pollution, this technology aims to resolve this challenge. Concrete worsens these problems by absorbing heat and reflecting it back as thermal energy. Researchers at TU Delft have...
Scientists have discussed using hydrogen as a possible green energy source for centuries. As climate change ravages the planet scientists are in desperate need of alternative, renewable sources of energy. According to the World Economic Forum, 0.1% of all the world’s hydrogen is currently considered “green”. With all the pressure to switch to renewal energies...
What if the cement in your walls could do more than hold your home together? Imagine it producing electricity quietly and cleanly, without any moving parts. That vision is no longer just a concept. Scientists have created a cement-based material that generates electricity from heat. This breakthrough could turn buildings into self-sustaining power plants. Inspired...
Imagine stumbling upon an energy source so phenomenal it could power an entire country for 60,000 years. Sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, right? Well, science has just discovered a geological treasure that could rewrite our entire understanding of nuclear energy. The Element You’ve Never Heard Of: Thorium 101 Thorium is a naturally occurring radioactive metal...
The ‘gut’ is a popular topic in most health and wellness circles, with many people talking about doing ‘cleanses’ and other special diets to try and ‘heal their gut’. Are cleanses and fasts really necessary for your colon health, though? What are the healthiest ways to naturally ‘cleanse’ your colon and improve your health? This...
