The solar industry has come a long way in just the last few years. The latest developments and breakthroughs in solar technology include longer-lasting solar cells, solar cells that you can print onto flexible surfaces, solar panels that track the sun from east to west throughout the day, and solar power plants that work at night. Here's a breakdown of the breakthroughs we're most excited about.

In September 2021, the Swiss company Climeworks opened the first carbon capture plant in Iceland. Named Orca after the Icelandic word for energy, this plant permanently removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and securely stores it underground.This technology has exciting implications for environmental health and sustainable industry. Here’s everything you need to know about the Orca carbon capture plant.

Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the fight against climate change by analyzing data collected about the environment and its changing conditions. Scientists can then use that data to build predictive models for weather phenomena such as cyclones, tornadoes and dust storms. Here are the creative ways scientists are using AI to help in the fight against climate change.

While humans don’t have to interfere with wildlife on most fronts, they can better use satellite technology to understand when an animal needs help or when a species is in danger. Here's how satellite technology can play a role in global wildlife conservation efforts.

Cargo bikes have been in use for many years, with many observers touting them as a revolution in last-mile deliveries. Thanks to disruptive technology, the addition of electric power has made the bikes an even more attractive proposition to delivery companies and Eco-conscious individuals.

A study by US-based MIT researchers has revealed that choosing the best solar cell for a given location or use is not as simple as it could be.

The Sustainable City in Dubai is a technological oasis in what was a barren desert until a few years ago. It's a marvel of innovation and within it, a thriving community of Eco-conscious individuals, families, small businesses, and a community pursuing a sustainable way of life.

As the costs of energy, fuel and consumption rise, consumers are becoming more aware of the need to be conservative. To save money, time and resources, we’re starting to make a shift towards green technology. Here are 3 new technologies that could save you ton of money and energy.

You won't solve environmental degradation and climate change alone. However, collectively, and with a little help from technology, we can start living more sustainably. Here are ten apps to help you get started.

The international science collective believes it can now design and function nanoparticles to catch light missed by solar cells and convert it to usable energy, according to their study published in Nature Photonics.
