A Colorado startup is drawing an aircraft 356 feet long to carry wind turbine blades, and the runway it plans to land on is not the kind anyone pictures
1+ hour, 48+ min ago (752+ words) Just after midnight, a state trooper blocks the intersection at the bottom of a Colorado mountain town. Behind him, a truck creeps through at walking speed. What it carries runs longer than the block itself, and the trailer swings wide…...
All 1,042 solar farms in Great Britain were mapped for a creature almost no farmer ever sees coming, and what the 120 percent population figure actually reveals about the land beneath the panels surprises everyone
6+ hour, 34+ min ago (752+ words) It sounds like a power station. Row after row of dark glass panels, angled at the sky, bolted into what used to be a meadow or a crop field. For years, that picture has been the whole story of a…...
NASA watched California’s ocean for 25 years and found fish steadily returning inside the state’s vast network of marine reserves
5+ hour, 28+ min ago (682+ words) Ocean currents move heat, nutrients, and energy across the planet — but for decades, an entire category of smaller currents remained effectively invisible to scientists. Too subtle to detect from space, these swirling features existed mostly in theory, a persistent gap…...
Scientists fitted 75 of the fastest animals in the Americas with GPS trackers and discovered they were carving pathways between solar panels instead of jumping over them
3+ hour, 28+ min ago (562+ words) Animals don’t usually get this excited about food. But pronghorns do, and the way they run down the trail is incredible. These animals are the fastest land animals in the Americas. They can outrun almost every other land animal in…...
Homeowners spread rubber mulch across their flower beds for 10 years without a second thought, and the thing the first rainstorm carries off it was never printed on the bag
3+ hour, 34+ min ago (752+ words) It arrives in a plastic bag from the garden center, dyed red or brown or black. The chips look like bark and weigh almost nothing. They will not rot, will not fade, and will not need replacing next spring. A…...
NASA's geophysicist calculated that one dam nudged Earth's axis by 2 centimeters and added 0.06 microseconds to every day, and China just broke ground on one 3 times bigger
10+ hour, 34+ min ago (762+ words) There is a river in Tibet that drops 6,500 feet in just 31 miles. For decades, engineers looked at that canyon and imagined what it could do. Now they are building something there so enormous it makes the world’s current largest dam…...
In Oregon, a hydroelectric dam released 950 steelhead 600 miles away, and more than 600 found their way back after two years in the ocean
9+ hour, 29+ min ago (530+ words) When a hydroelectric dam released 950 steelhead downstream, more than 600 returned. They made it back to their natal stream after nearly two years in the ocean. Wild steelhead were reintroduced into the upper Deschutes River with the first generation. A group…...
In Virginia, bears kept threatening a solar farm, so workers invited 180,000 bees to build a living barrier around it
7+ hour, 28+ min ago (597+ words) There are bound to be complications when clean energy facilities expand into wildlife zones. After a section of heavily forested land was cleared for a solar installation in Virginia, operators had to deal with persistent intrusions from black bears. Their…...
Nearly 6,000 feet down in a narrow finger of the Red Sea, a lake sitting on the seafloor has been running the same trap for over 1,000 years, and the hunters working its edge never built a thing
8+ hour, 34+ min ago (748+ words) The robot dropped through total darkness for nearly 6,000 feet. There was no light, no current, and almost no oxygen. Then its cameras picked up something that stopped the team cold: a lake sitting perfectly still on the ocean floor, its…...
Insurers scanned 300 million American rooftops from the sky before deciding on renewals, and the bird sitting on the fence below carries an ability that only a handful of species on Earth have ever demonstrated
10+ hour, 34+ min ago (731+ words) The letter arrived without warning. Her insurer had been watching from above, and now it had decided not to renew her policy. She had no idea the sky above her home had become a tool in someone else’s calculation. What…...
