NASA's Carbothermal Reduction Demonstration (CaRD) project has completed an important step toward using local resources to support human exploration on the moon. The CaRD team performed integrated ...

A planetary system 116 light-years from Earth has a peculiar pattern. It could flip the script on how planets form, scientists say.

As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and ...

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could help solar panels run cooler, last longer, and generate more power — without relying on energy-hungry equipment. A team led by the Indian Institute of ...

This year, astronomers discovered more than 100 previously unknown moons in our own solar system. There may be many more yet to be discovered, and cataloguing them could help us better understand how ...

It was almost 100 years ago that Clyde W. Tombaugh discovered Pluto. That was the last planet found until 1992, when humans found another one. But this new planet wasn't in our solar system—it was ...

Battery costs have fallen sharply over the past two years. A steep drop in 2024 was followed by further declines in 2025, pushing storage within reach for dispatchable solar, according to Ember. The ...

For years, California lawmakers were stymied. But now, at a crucial juncture for electricity in America, the state is embracing an ambitious and long-awaited plan: to buy and sell far, far more power ...

Space-based solar power has long been pitched as a way to deliver uninterrupted, weather-proof renewable energy. First proposed in 1968 by aerospace engineer Peter Glaser, the idea has cycled through ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center shared the images of comet 3I/ATLAS. It's possibly as big as Manhattan, likely older than our own solar system and it's traveling through space at speeds of up to ...
