The annual greenhouse gas emissions of a planned neutrino experiment could be on a par to the production of 1000 cars. That is according to a new analysis that finds the main source of emissions of the Giant Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) project is different during the construction and operation of the project. The authors say their work is the first published assessment of greenhouse gas emission of a large-scale physics experiment and provides a methodology that could be used for future

By Ad Crable, Chesapeake Bay Journal Township supervisors near Gettysburg, PA, on June 3 pulled the plug on what could have been Pennsylvania’s largest solar energy project. After 18 months of virtual public hearings, Mount Joy Township supervisors voted against granting a conditional-use permit that would have allowed Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources to build 330,000 12-foot-high swiveling solar panels on 1,000 acres of 18 different farms.

In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

It is estimated that $2 billion of investment is waiting for the passage of bipartisan legislation establishing a community solar energy program that could also help save fa

Ask a solid-state physicist to name the biggest discovery in the field over the past 50 years, and chances are the answer – if not high-temperature superconductivity – will be topological materials. These are materials in which bulk properties determine special behaviour along the surface or an edge, and they have profoundly changed the study of electrons in solids – as recognized by three Nobel prizes.

Low-loss, highly-reflective “supermirrors” – that is, those that scatter and absorb very few photons – are a key technology for many research fields and are used to make optical resonators for a variety of optics and photonics applications. Until now, however, it has been challenging to make such mirrors for the technologically important mid-infrared (mid-IR) range of light wavelengths between 3?

Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.
