WASHINGTON, D.C. — A major scientific breakthrough decades in the making was announced Dec. 13 when the first controlled fusion experiment in history produced more energy than the laser energy used to create it at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, paving the way for a clean energy future. The announcement came from the U.S. Department of
BOSTON - A discovery by MIT researchers could finally unlock the door to the design of a new kind of rechargeable lithium battery that is more lightweight, compact, and safe than current versions, and that has been pursued by labs around the world for years. The key to this potential leap in battery technology is
CAMBRIDGE, MA--The heat miles beneath our feet—deep geothermal energy—could provide more than enough clean, renewable energy to meet world demand as we transition away from fossil fuels, according to a presenter at the inaugural TEDX Boston Planetary Stewardship Event held November 13-14. Timed to align with the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference, the TEDX Boston event was “designed
LONDON, UK - Hydrogen fuel cell cars emerged as an alternative to both the electric and combustion engine vehicle in the early 2000s. They were widely considered an avenue towards universal green motoring. Powered through a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen, the only tailpipe emission they produce is water. The technology also promised a
WASHINGTON DC - The truth about UFOs in the United States could soon be exposed as government and military personnel break their silence on sightings. The officials with knowledge of or experience with UFOs may unveil new information without fear of reprisal thanks to a new bill. The yearly Defense Authorization Bill could include linguistic
WASHINGTON DC - A new NASA study indicates that the sea level along U.S. coastlines could rise more than a foot by the year 2050, at the high end of previous estimates, a development with potentially serious consequences. NASA's Sea Level Change Team analyzed nearly three decades of satellite observations before reaching this conclusion. While
LONDON, UK - The Amazon rainforest is now "alarmingly close" to reaching a critical tipping point from which there is no return, with "catastrophic consequences for people and planet," new WWF research warns. The charity said the study, released on Biodiversity Day at Cop27, sounds an "alarm bell for humanity", and in the worst case scenario, the so-called "lungs of
LONDON, UK - A supercomputer that uses an advanced algorithm has predicted that the end of the world could be upon us, with a theory suggesting that life could end as we know it 'by 2050' The eerily precise machine made the alarming prediction and is designed to foretell patterns in human civilisation. It was created
DETROIT - The world has almost used all its remaining carbon budget. In less than a decade, it will be over — unless we do much more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by then, the world is heading causing the world to pass a critical warming threshold, a new study shows. If this threshold is
SHARM-EL-SHEIKH, Egypt - The past eight years are on track to be the eight warmest on record, fueled by ever-rising greenhouse gas concentrations and accumulated heat. Extreme heatwaves, drought and devastating flooding have affected millions and cost billions this year, according to the World Meteorological Organization’s provisional State of the Global Climate in 2022 report.
