For a few years a team of academics in the US has been on a quest to revolutionise the way buildings are cooled. Now, ongoing research by one of them could be about to deliver one of the biggest gamechangers to building management, as Andrew Tunnicliffe finds out.

Creating heat using abundant solar energy stored in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and the sea.

The stimulus package is expected to be passed this weekend, which is not a moment too soon for the wind and solar energy sectors.

Growing Dome® Greenhouses, tried and tested in the Rocky Mountains, allow you to grow fresh vegetables, flowers, fruit and herbs year round, with minimal extra heating or cooling. Its unique solar design and seven unique features make it the most energy-efficient, hobby greenhouse kit available today. Enjoy year-round indoor gardening, in a beautiful protected space throughout the changing seasons, the Growing Dome Greenhouse from Growing Spaces can fulfill your desires. Much more than a greenhouse; it's a way of life!

Scientists working on an international collaboration to mimic the process of photosynthesis have reached a significant milestone in the quest to develop an efficient and abundant alternative fuel. The results could bring us one step closer to matching plants in their ability to exploit the Sun's energy

China is reportedly planning to build the first solarpower station in space, which would send energy back to Earth. With this move, China has allocated $8bn for its space programmes. It intends to compete with the US and gain economic, military and technological dominance.

Empowering women through clean power technologies has been put firmly on the agenda thanks to recent events held by the United Nations and Ashden Awards. So how is clean tech changing lives and how can it be scaled up to game-changing levels?

A host of new technologies have been inspired by the natural world, as designers increasingly look to biomimicry when to creating new ideas for wind turbines, solar cells and hydropower. So could nature hold the answer to unlocking renewable energy?

Sports stadiums around the world are turning green, adopting solar and wind technology to improve their cities and win over fans

Britain's ability to generate green electricity is growing, but with utility-scale solar farms typically covering up to 100 acres of land or more - usually in rural areas - is it good news for wildlife?

It is a well known fact that the electricity is very important for the proper functioning of the various things, without which nothing can be possible.

As the rise of BitCoin has shown, establishing a currency is no longer the sole preserve of governments and their central banks.

There are many job opportunities in the wind energy sector, with more vacancies expected to arise as the industry expands globally. But what skills does it take to cope with often hostile conditions, towering structures and unpredictable wind supply? UK-based offshore wind farm site manager Derek Whyte divulges all.
