It’s a process so embedded in our daily lives that it’s easy to ignore. However, new research indicates there’s more to water evaporation than simply letting your towels dry in the sun after a day at ...

Over 947 gigawatts of solar energy are waiting to connect to the grid—that's enough to power over 900 million homes in the United States for a year. We have a problem. But AI can help to solve it.

Understanding the sun from afar isn't easy. NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft -- which orbits Mercury, and so is as close as 28 million miles from the sun versus Earth's 93 million miles -- is near enough ...
