Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could help solar panels run cooler, last longer, and generate more power — without relying on energy-hungry equipment. A team led by the Indian Institute of ...

This morning on The Rhode Show, we welcomed Know Solar, the company that’s flipping the script on how you go solar. Instead of chasing multiple installers and juggling quotes, Know Solar makes solar ...

A Redditor took to the platform to ask for advice about a solar panel system, and the Internet delivered. Posting in the r/solar subreddit, the user asked for a quote check on a potential solar lease.

Scientists have found that certain crops can grow remarkably well in the shade of solar panels, potentially allowing us to grow food and generate clean energy simultaneously. Growing food alongside ...

Far from the Sun’s heat, orbiting the outer planets of the solar system, are moons with oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. Keith Cooper finds out how planetary scientists are ...
