Technology is advancing at lightning speed, setting us up to look like we live in a sci-fi film. While the first flying cars are actually achieving lift off already, nations around the world are investing in new infrastructure,...

Roads aren't just for walking or driving anymore. Solar road or pathway projects around the world are showing that streets can both provide firm footing and generate clean energy. Inhabitat rounded up six projects in places...

When detractors were howling about solar roadways' flaws, concerns about theft wasn't among them. Apparently it should have been, because a few days ago, thieves cut out and ran away with a chunk of China's recently unveiled...

China is getting in on the solar road-building action. A one-kilometer stretch of solar highway developed by Qilu Transportation Development Group just opened for testing near Jinan, the capital city of China's Shandong Province....

China is getting in on the solar road-building action. A one-kilometer, or around 0.6-mile, stretch of solar highway developed by Qilu Transportation Development Group just opened for testing near Jinan, the capital city...

Solar Roadways are finally gaining traction in the United States. Scott and Julie Brusaw have been developing their energy-generating roads for the last several years, hoping to replace asphalt with solar panels that can...
