Scientists in China are producing solar panels that can produce energy from the last source you'd expect - rainwater. In a study published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, researchers in China introduced a new type of solar panel that...

This week's episode of NSF Science Now highlights new primate fossil discoveries in Tanzania, the first screening method to detect the early presence of ovarian cancer, a polymer material that more efficiently utilizes solar energy and...

This video highlights the efforts of Okra Solar, a social enterprise backed by the Cambodian Government, to provide clean and affordable energy to off-grid communities in Cambodia. This sustainable approach showcases the potential for...

We ask people on the streets of London to guess how many hours of sunlight would be needed to power the world for a year, if we could capture all that hits the Earth.

A Category 5 hurricane is a monster of a storm that most people would want to avoid. But, Civil Engineer Arindam Chowdhury actually recreates those monster hurricane force winds in hopes of helping us better prepare for the real thing....

Parker Solar Probe Mission Scientist Adam Szabo discusses NASA's journey to the Sun.

A large array of PRAM panels would use light waves not found on Earth to generate enough electricity to power cities.

A career in engineering is a great way to solve problems that help people, society, the environment and more. Join this group from Engineers Without Borders as they travel to Nicaragua to help bring the first electrical power to the town...

Dr. Duck Mittlefehldt, Planetary Scientist, talks about some curious findings in meteorites and the adventures endured to procure them. HWHAP Episode 30.

Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Chief Engineer Bob Balaram discusses the first experimental aircraft flight on another planet.

Let's take a look back at the elements silver, hydrogen, phosphorous, germanium, and sulfur.

Global warming is something that threatens to impact us all: both environmentally (with the loss of natural marvels such as the great barrier reef) and economically.



But humans aren't actually contributing as...

These city kids from Boston may not look like conventional farmers, but they're spending part of their summer getting their hands dirty--or more like wet! They're learning how to build solar-powered hydroponic systems that grow organic...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is in the midst of intense environmental testing at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, in preparation for its journey to the Sun. These tests simulate the noise and shaking the...

Students from the Alexander Dawson School in Boulder, Colorado explain the workings of a "dark detector" coated with the one of the world's darkest materials, a forest of carbon nanotubes that reflect almost no light across the visible...

Hey everybody! I've wanted to make one of these forever. Well, i have made one before but it was not a 'good' fresnel lens. If you want to learn more about fresnel lenses this is a good website.

In this video, the speaker discusses different types of renewable energy resources including hydroelectric energy, wind power, solar energy, biofuels, tidal power, water waves, and geothermal power. The speaker explains the advantages...

Solar panels are rectangular objects made up of individual solar cells, which capture sunlight and generate electricity. These cells are made from silicon, a semiconductor material found in sand. When sunlight hits the cells, it causes...
