LONDON - Researchers warn that if the Union Glacier in Antarctica region melts, the world could be facing a crucial tipping point. Scientists have predicted that, if the planet continues down this path, sea levels by 2100 could be at least 1.4 feet higher and up to 6.6 feet higher. That could wipe out entire
Steam turbine blades play a critical role in determining the reliability and overall performance of steam turbines. Their intricate design, advanced material composition, and aerodynamic features significantly influence power generation efficiency, operational stability, and maintenance requirements. The efficiency of these blades directly affects fuel consumption, energy output, and operational costs. In diverse applications such as
NEW YORK - Recent breakthroughs suggest that hydrogen reservoirs are buried in countless regions of the world, including at least 30 U.S. states. Finding such reservoirs could help accelerate a global energy transition, but until now, geologists only had a piecemeal understanding of how large hydrogen accumulations form — and where to find them. "The game of

OREGON - McDermitt Caldera in Oregon is attracting attention for what could be one of the largest lithium deposits ever identified in the United States. Many view it as a potential boost for domestic battery production, while local communities voice concern over the impact on wildlife and cultural sites. The excitement stems from estimates that value
ITHICA, NY - A Cornell University-led research team has developed a way to generate green hydrogen through solar-powered electrolysis of seawater. As an added bonus, it also produces potable water. A small hybrid solar distillation-water electrolysis device is key to the process, helping to produce 200 milliliters of hydrogen per hour with 12.6% energy efficiency, according
LANSING - Michigan April cannabis sales declined 2.5 percent, from $276 million in March to $270.2 million last month, with medical sales down to just roughly $500,000 in April, the Cannabis Regulatory Agency reported Tuesday.
