Solar-power plant operators, green building architects, farmers and others who want to reduce their greenhouse-gas emissions are benefiting from NASA's POWER project.

Move over, precious metals. In a new discovery, a common potassium compound is more efficient and sustainable for certain chemical reactions. Modern industry may never be the same!

Want to get the most energy-efficiency bang for your buck when building a house? Think about it as if you were designing a mission to Mars.

Caltech's First Look West (FLoW) program helps young cleantech innovators transform their sustainable technologies into budding businesses.

Solar energy company offers efficiency reports based on data from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) system, a collaboration between NASA and NOAA.

NASA's green aviation project is one step closer to developing technology that could make future airliners quieter and more fuel-efficient.

NASA answered a call to help the world’s largest aerospace company develop a better way to generate electricity for its aircraft. Instead, it wound up helping a very small technology company to thrive.

Ocean waves hold a tremendous amount of energy that is almost entirely untapped, despite our ever-growing need for sustainable, non-polluting electricity. The DOE wants to be able to offer modeling software to everyone with a potentially great idea for extracting energy from ocean waves.

The dramatic growth of the wind and solar industries has led utilities to begin testing large-scale technologies capable of storing surplus clean electricity and delivering it on demand when sunlight and wind are in short supply.

What do lighthouses have in common with a groundbreaking spacecraft propulsion system? And how can the technology they share help us here on Earth to generate electricity more efficiently?

A Caltech chemistry professor and his colleagues aim to produce fuel as energy-dense as gasoline and as friendly to the environment as a daffodil.

NASA researchers have begun a series of flights using the agency's DC-8 flying laboratory to study the effects of alternate biofuel on engine performance, emissions and aircraft-generated contrails at altitude.

How would you like to replace your water heater with a nuclear reactor? That’s what Joseph Zawodny, a senior scientist at NASA’s Langley Research Center, hopes to help bring about.

What swallows Lake Erie water, motors quietly through the streets of Cleveland, and expels water good enough to drink from its tailpipe? It's a brand new Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) bus, part of a demonstration of clean, alternative transportation.

The "crazy zoo" of microbes teeming inside the termite gut makes a Caltech scientist who studies them feel like Alice in Wonderland. But that's where he expects to find part of the solution to our energy problems.
