California’s Project Nexus completed a 1.6-megawatt solar installation over two irrigation-canal sites in 2025, after researchers estimated that covering the state’s 6,400 kilometres of canals could prevent 63 billion gallons of annual evaporation—enough water for two million people—while the cooler microclimate above the canals could improve the panels’ efficiency.
14+ hour, 19+ min ago (1036+ words) California’s 1.6-megawatt solar-canal pilot is operating, but the 63-billion-gallon water figure remains a statewide model estimate that the two sites are only beginning to test.

Paper bags and cardboard boxes normally headed for the trash were carbonized into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the resulting electrodes survived 1,200 charge cycles — roughly twice the durability of anodes used in current phone batteries

A data center in Denmark gives away heat that data centers often waste. It runs water from the city's heating network through its cooling units and into heat pumps that raise it enough to fill the radiators of 11,000 homes
6+ day, 23+ hour ago (616+ words) As data centers consume ever more power, one facility in Denmark shows how to turn a costly cooling problem into a heating solution for thousands of households. By Science Blog Editorial Team · Edited by Mal James Published September 7, 2026 · How we…...
Texas ranchers now run sheep across roughly 68,000 acres of solar farms, more than half the American solar-grazing map, because goats climb the panels and chew the wires and cattle are simply too tall for the rows
3+ week, 1+ day ago (548+ words) While solar farms must stay weed-free to function, the animals that do that job matter enormously—and sheep have won out over goats, cattle, and every other contender. Published August 23, 2026 · How we edit Drive through Milam County, Texas, past the…...
