Geothermal energy is making a comeback as engineers unlock deep-earth heat with new drilling and closed-loop technologies.

Geothermal energy taps into heat beneath the Earth’s surface to generate electricity or provide direct heating. Unlike solar or wind, it never stops. It runs around the clock, providing consistent, ...

A recent report estimates that New Mexico has the potential to produce substantial power from its geothermal resources. But ...

A new thermodynamic design links ion movement and concentration to energy output, creating soft polymer films that generate ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...

PNW scientists have made a flexible “fabric” that converts body heat into electricity. Heat is energy, and most of the heat we produce — from our bodies, kitchens and cars — just dissipates into the ...

If higher temperatures are required than the data center heat recovery can reliably provide, consider using booster heat ...

The thermoelectric effect, or Seebeck effect, refers to the direct conversion of a temperature difference between two electrical conductors or semiconductors into an electrical voltage. When the sides ...

For those who like to crank the thermostat up during the winter, a new report showing data for the Midwest and other parts of the country says you should be prepared for a much higher price tag this ...

PITTSFIELD — Summer officially arrived Friday, and early this week, the Berkshires will be in for some Scotch tape. That’s the type of weather in store through Wednesday. In Pittsfield, the high will ...

According to the Energy Department, turning thermostats back 7 to 10 degrees for eight hours a day can save as much as 10% a ...
