Solar farm on the ocean outperforms land-based solar in Taiwan
A solar farm in a tidal bay has generated more electricity and profits than a nearby coastal solar farm, but challenges could arise as floating solar moves f...
Wind-assisted cargo ships could more than halve shipping emissions
If wind-assisted cargo ships chose routes based entirely on where the winds are better, their fuel use could be cut in half or even completely eliminated
Colossal claims an artificial eggshell will help it bring back the moa
Colossal Biosciences, the company that says it resurrected the dire wolf, now says it has developed artificial eggshells so it can replicate the huge eggs of...
