In their study, published in the journal Science, the group compared data from the two space probes to learn more about energy sources impacting the solar wind. Luca Sorriso-Valvo and Francesco Malara ...

Windbreaks may sound like a counterintuitive idea for boosting the performance of a wind turbine. But physicists report that low walls that block wind could actually help wind farms produce more power ...

A lucky alignment of two sun-studying spacecraft may have finally solved a decades-old solar mystery. Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that ...

The beauty of a canyon is principally the artful work of that masterful sculptor, the river. Rivers wouldn’t exist, obviously, without gravity, which also brings material down from the canyon walls.

A large wind farm in Solano County would be the first renewable energy project in the nation to be issued a permit to kill eagles under a plan released Thursday by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

A study finds painting windmill blades reduced bird fatalities by over 70 percent. Scientists are always looking for ways to reduce bird deaths from turbines. The emphasis on windmills' threat to ...
