Stationary systems—such as fixed-bottom tidal turbines—could theoretically operate in low-flow conditions too, but they would have to be huge, he explained. The fact that Minesto’s tidal energy kites move allows them to harness energy from slower currents while reducing cost and consumption of materials.

A researcher was toying with a kid-friendly slime mixture. Scientists make groundbreaking discovery that began with kids' science project: 'Implications for several industries' first appeared on The Cool Down.

A stellarator is still a donut shape, but extended and twisted, with different pros and cons.

The previously-approved funds would have gone toward clean energy projects by New England-based organizations, including deploying electric school buses and cutting the cost of solar panels.

The research claims that shifting to renewable energy does not automatically eliminate the risks traditionally associated with fossil fuel dependency. Rather, it can introduce new risks that are unevenly distributed across geographies and communities.
