The surprising discovery of seawater sealed in what is now North America for 390 million years opens up a new avenue for understanding how oceans change and adapt with the changing climate.

Newly developed QuenchSea is a low-cost, handheld machine with the potential to become a complete life-saver for water-related emergency situations and humanitarian crises...

Point Nemo is so remote that those on the International Space Station, hundreds of miles above Earth, are usually the closest humans to this isolated place...

Engineers at Columbia University have created a "solar fuels rig," which floats on the ocean, captures solar energy, then uses that energy to extract hydrogen from seawater...

Hydrogen can be obtained from seawater to power fuel cells, but the process is typically costly because of the electricity required. Researchers created a nanomaterial that can do the job more efficiently. According to the...

The exact formula for Roman concrete has been lost. This is unfortunate, as many 2,000-year-old Roman concrete piers and breakwaters structures are even stronger today than they were when they were built millennia ago, while...

No discussion of a post-carbon future can be complete without raising the specter of nuclear power. Although it's a contentious subject, any concerns about large-scale adoption have been largely rendered moot by the fact...

Over four billion tons of uranium present in the ocean could help provide energy for "the next 10,000 years," according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The element could be used to fuel nuclear power plants, except extraction...

The world's first research facility to grow both food and fuel has opened in the United Arab Emirates. Located on a 2-hectacre site in Abu Dhabi, the desert facility uses coastal seawater irritation to raise fish and shrimp...

Traditionally, biofuels have a bad reputation for eating up precious land and water resources and pilfering food from the world's hungry. But a groundbreaking new bioenergy pilot plant at Masdar City, Abu Dhabi's growing...

  Superstorm Sandy wreaked absolute havoc all along the USA's east coast, and in addition to the massive flood damage, subsequent fires along the Jersey Shore (among other areas) were devastating...

Ocean Thermal Energy Corporation (OTE Corporation) is a breakthrough technology company that both contributes to the long-term health of the environment, and boosts the economy—locally and globally...

From Penn State Underlying ocean melts ice shelf, speeds up glacier movement Warm ocean water, not warm air, is melting the Pine Island Glacier’s floating ice shelf in Antarctica and may be the culprit for increased...

A team of scientists from Australia's University of Wollongong have developed a way to turn sea water into hydrogen in order to produce a virtually unlimited clean energy source...

Feeling the pinch of high gas prices every time you fill up your car? Be thankful you’re not the U.S. Military. Tired of wasting so much of its budget on fossil fuels, the US Navy has led the quest for greener alternatives...
