Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Physicists at NASA and Princeton generate electricity from the Earth's rotation: could wind energy be our energy source of the future?

A millimeter laser is going to drill into the Earth’s interior with the aim of extracting energy we don’t even know about. When we think of renewable and sustainable energy, our minds usually think of ...

Imagining every drop of Earth’s water hurled into the Sun sounds like a last-ditch cosmic fire extinguisher, but the physics ...

Using satellites and computer models to study the Earth's oceans, scientists have concluded that more energy is being absorbed from the Sun than is reflected back to space, throwing the ...

Earth keeps getting warmer because more energy from sunlight stays trapped in the climate system. Scientists refer to this as ...

You probably remember your grade school science teachers explaining that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. That’s a fundamental property of the universe. Energy can be transformed, however.

At NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, Norman Loeb, is keeping an eye on Earth's energy budget. He is the principal investigator of NASA’s radiation budget science project and he is ...
