Jupiter’s storms aren’t just gigantic — they may unleash lightning far more powerful than anything on Earth. Using NASA’s Juno spacecraft, scientists discovered that some lightning bolts on the gas giant could pack up to 100 times the punch of Earth’s lightning, and possibly much more. The findings reveal thatContinue Reading
The small project is underway at Central Campus, with room for expansion. Its energy usage could complicate the university’s climate goals. By Lisa Sorg DURHAM, N.C.—Duke University plans to build a small data center at Central Campus, potentially the first of several similar-size projects, which has raised questions among someContinue Reading
Like many cities, Denver’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is its buildings. Heating and cooling skyscrapers requires a lot of fossil fuels. Now, the city is trying a surprising solution. (Image credit: Aaron Ontiveroz)Continue Reading

The MIT Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) showcased its high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet technology, essential for fusion energy and increasingly relevant to superhot geothermal applications, to Representative Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass) during his March 12 visit. High-field electromagnets are required to confine plasma in fusion reactors, and PSFC’s HTS technologyContinue Reading
Scientists in Canada have discovered that ancient underground rocks are naturally producing hydrogen gas — and lots of it. Measurements from mine boreholes in Ontario show the gas can flow continuously for years, offering a potential new source of clean energy called “white hydrogen.” Researchers say this hidden resource couldContinue Reading
An alternative emissions-calculating methodology underpins revised, less ambitious methane-reduction targets. By Georgina Gustin A group of the world’s leading climate scientists are warning governments and the livestock industry against adopting an “accounting trick” that will imperil the all-out global effort required to control heat-trapping emissions.Continue Reading
