MIT researchers and their collaborators have come up with an unusual, high performance and possibly less expensive way of turning the sun’s heat into electricity.
GreenChill’s food retailers are reducing pollution from commercial refrigeration, decreasing their impact on the ozone layer and protecting people’s health.
Enlighten Media Inc. has released a revealing new audio course that shows how to use magnetic motors to make unlimited energy—for free.
Researchers are using a "selection of the fittest" step-by-step approach called "evolutionary algorithms" to optimise wind turbine placement.
The action ensures that gasoline meets fuel quality and performance standards, and protects people’s health by reducing harmful VOC emissions.
BP Exploration Alaska Inc. will also implement a systemwide pipeline integrity management program for spilling more than 5,000 barrels of crude oil from the company’s pipelines on the North Slope of Alaska. The $25 million penalty is the largest per-barrel penalty to date for an oil spill.
Rice University senior engineering students are using the sun to power an autoclave that sterilizes medical instruments and help solve a long-standing health issue for developing countries.
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. is now offering municipalities and customers across the country access to its globally recognized testing and certification services to detect Chromium-6, also known as hexavalent chromium, in drinking water supplies.
The production of wind energy in the United States in the next 30 to 50 years will be largely unaffected by upward changes in global temperature, said a pair of scientists who analyzed output from several regional climate models to assess future wind patterns in America's lower 48 states.
The rotational grazing technique, which has been adapted for a variety of livestock worldwide, calls for cattle to graze in small areas for shorter periods of time before moving onto other pastures.
With more than 200 Earth Day festivals annually logged by the Earth Day Network – the leading organization that mobilizes the green movement across the world – across the country on April 22, the second largest was in Dallas.
Making your property more sustainable is a trend that seems to get more interest from homeowners every year. Many small changes can greatly improve sustainability and can be fairly simple to do.
Swiss researchers have developed lightweight, translucent curtain materials, which are excellent at absorbing sound.
Gov. Chris Gregoire signed legislation to phase out coal-fired energy production at the TransAlta power plant in Centralia.
The Rogers' Optical Air business has become a world leader in the high power fiber-optic laser business. They developed a laser wind sensor that allows helicopters to land safely in brownouts and whiteouts caused by dust.
Natural gas drillers claim they have paid hundreds of millions of dollars in Pennsylvania taxes, but data from the state Department of Revenue tell a different story, according to a report from the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center.
University of Maine engineering students and researchers working at a facility in the Netherlands are now into the third week of testing scale models of deepwater floating offshore wind platforms for wind turbines.
Students learn math behind environmental engineering as they build a living village and design an efficient transportation system for food delivery.
Though they currently require more electricity to emit UV light, LEDs could soon replace mercury lamps in sterilization devices.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing stronger air toxics standards for secondary lead smelters, which would improve air quality and protect people’s health in communities where the smelters are located.
