A new solution deposition process for semiconductors yields high-performing transistors by introducing more defects, counterintuitively. Researchers used these devices to construct high- speed logic ...

As you’re budgeting for a solar panel system, you may come across three types of solar panels. Each one can come with its own price tag, so consider the following price differences before you ...

It'll be about six months before skywatchers are treated to another solar eclipse — during which only part of the sun will again be obscured from view. On Oct. 2, an annular solar eclipse was ...

And, speaking of Jupiter, NASA plans to launch its latest solar system exploration mission to one of the giant planet's moons this month. Europa Clipper is slated to blast off as early as October 10th ...

Smaller size, single purpose Sending a satellite into space is nothing new, of course. The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1 into Earth orbit back in 1957.Today, about 10,000 active satellites are ...

The Sun is the most energetic object in our solar system. Humans have been finding creative ways to harness the Sun's heat and light for thousands of years. But the practice of converting the Sun’s ...

National Renewable Energy Laboratory researchers have synthesized two different groups of molecules (called molecular aggregates) and explored the properties of these compounds that could ultimately ...

With just one week until an annular solar eclipse will be visible over parts of the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina, we take a look at everything you need to know. On ...

Washington’s largest utility will add its first large-scale solar and battery storage projects ... PSE currently owns a 5 megawatt battery storage system. The utility has also announced plans ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, as some researchers suspect, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny ...

This story sounds wild—even incredible. Black holes! Dark matter! Jostling planets! Yet the scenario is plausible—and testable soon. Black holes the size of an atom that contain the mass of an ...

If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would orbit similarly to how it does now, but it would be a lot colder. We don’t know what matter looks like inside ...
