Technosylva has partnered with PSSC Labs to expand the scale and speed of its wildfire prediction capabilities through a dedicated high-performance computing (HPC) platform. Built to support utilities, emergency planners, and fire management agencies, the system runs over one billion fire scenarios each day, generating near real-time risk assessments across wide geographic regions. At the core is...
SpaceX launched a trio of spacecraft Wednesday morning, each meant to study the sun and space weather, and their affects on Earth. The Falcon 9 rocket launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida around 7:30 a.m. EDT. The primary payload on the flight was NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe, also known as IMAP, Space.com reported. Read...
A team of Canadian researchers has developed a low-cost catalyst that could help manufacturers convert industrial carbon emissions into valuable chemical feedstocks—without relying on expensive precious metals. The innovation, led by Dr. Drew Higgins at McMaster University, combines nickel-zinc carbide particles with nickel-nitrogen-carbon compounds. Higgins explains: “The types of materials that we’re looking at are relatively new, so...
Quaise Energy is reviving this powerful energy source, and is one of several companies that are putting “deep geothermal” on the map.
Companies developing renewable energy projects know those installations can bring even more value when built on a brownfield site. The ability to repurpose a once-industrial or other area and transform it into a sustainable energy hub, reclaiming the land while providing needed power, can support the surrounding community while providing economic and environmental benefits. A...
A California-based startup, Circularity Fuels, is making headway in an area long considered economically unviable: turning agricultural waste into a reliable source for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). With more than 20,000 large-scale livestock farms in the U.S. generating nearly a trillion pounds of manure each year—and less than 6% of them capturing the resulting biogas—the untapped...
Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have found a way to use that waste to help produce a cleaner nuclear energy. Nuclear fusion – the process by which atomic nuclei are combined into heavier...
“You have to go see the waste — did you see the waste?” Isabelle Boemeke shouted into the wind, which whipped her long, dark braid behind her as she stood on the California shoreline in San Luis Obispo. The waste in question was the leftover uranium rods from producing nuclear energy, which are stored in...
Angela Harmon and her grandson Leo headed out on a hot day in Dallas, Texas, to a neighborhood store that is run by their church. It’s where they keep cool because running Harmon’s air conditioner at home is more than she can afford. “It’s costly, it’s expensive, and I have to juggle to pay it,” Harmon...
Proactive work on the ground can make a big difference when it really counts. On July 7, a fierce thunderstorm rolled through southwest Oregon, delivering thousands of lightning strikes that ignited more than 70 wildfires from Ashland to Cave Junction — many in the heart of the Applegate Valley. One of those strikes hit a...
