For more than a century, engineers have chased new ways to turn the planet’s natural motions into usable power, from tides to ...

Researchers have been on a long quest to harness carbon-free energy from natural processes, from tapping into tidal forces to mimicking the fusion reactions that occur in stars. Now, a team of ...

A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research has presented experimental evidence confirming a previously theorized ...

Another day, another ambitious company emerges to harness the power of the Sun from Earth's orbit. Okay, it's not quite that common an occurrence, but there are indeed a number of firms giving this a ...

Like nuclear fusion, the idea of space-based solar power has always seemed like a futuristic technology with an actual deployment into communities ever remaining a couple of decades away. The concept ...

Space-based solar power advances with microwave and laser transmission, orbital assembly, and cost reductions, aiming for ...

Space solar power, or what I like to call Starlink for electricity, is at once a ludicrous idea and a bit of a pipe dream. None of that is stopping Baiju Bhatt from giving it a go. The billionaire ...

Forward-looking: Recent tests have proven that beaming solar energy to Earth from low-orbiting satellites is theoretically possible with existing technology. If implemented, the method could resolve ...

British startup plans to supply solar power from space to Icelanders by 2030, in what could be the world's first demonstration of this novel renewable energy source. The space solar power project, ...
