This Study Could Improve Global Clean Energy Plans

Every major climate pledge in the world talks about “net-zero.” But here’s the twist: net-zero still allows fossil fuels. As long as countries capture or offset their carbon emissions, they can technically keep burning oil, coal, or gas. A new study in Nature Communications asks a radical question: What if a region actually tried to […]

AI, Microgrids, and Boosting Home Energy Efficiency

Every day, millions of homes lose power, not because the grid fails, but because renewable energy doesn’t always show up when people need it most. In coastal cities, the wind peaks long after sunset, and the sun disappears just as air-conditioners switch on. But a new study suggests that a single household can learn to […]

Transform Desert Energy Systems in Qatar

Summer power demand in Qatar can soar to nearly 8,000 megawatts—more than twice the country’s winter lows. But here’s the twist: some renewable technologies produce the least energy at the very moment Qatar needs them most. That mismatch is the puzzle that a team of researchers set out to solve. Their study is not just […]
