Noor 1 Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant

It’s not simply on the track that Morocco is planning to turn into a world ruler in renewable energy. Just as a host country of a Formula ePrix, the nation is likewise home to the world’s biggest solar farm. Based on a territory of in excess of 3,000 hectares in the region – similar to …

How does a small Pacific archipelago keep rats, stoats, and possums off entire islands so that flightless birds thought nearly extinct now breed in the open again? September 3, 2026
How drone-dropped bait, smart traps and tight biosecurity have cleared rats and stoats from Pacific islands, letting sooty terns, shearwaters and the kākāpō breed on open ground again. The post How does a small Pacific archipelago keep rats, stoats, and possums off entire islands so that flightless birds thought nearly extinct now breed in the […]
Astronauts returning from six-month International Space Station stays land measurably taller, sometimes by up to 5 centimetres, because without gravity compressing their vertebrae the intervertebral discs slowly rehydrate and expand, and the effect reverses within a few painful weeks back on Earth September 2, 2026
After six months on the International Space Station, astronauts return up to 5 centimetres taller because microgravity lets their intervertebral discs rehydrate and expand — and the effect reverses painfully within weeks of landing. The post Astronauts returning from six-month International Space Station stays land measurably taller, sometimes by up to 5 centimetres, because without […]
On 24 August 2006, the International Astronomical Union voted in Prague to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, and the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum staff simply walked to the Exploring the Planets gallery entrance and placed a red ‘no’ symbol over the Pluto sign September 1, 2026
On 24 August 2006, astronomers in Prague voted to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet — and within hours, Smithsonian staff walked to the Exploring the Planets gallery and stuck a red prohibition sticker over the Pluto sign, the fastest museum update in the building's history. The post On 24 August 2006, the International Astronomical […]

Illinois solar project uses terrain-following trackers, installation robots to reduce engineering effort September 3, 2026
The 346-MW Gibson City Solar Project, developed by Earthrise Energy and constructed by Burns & McDonnell, achieved commercial operation in Illinois using Earthrise Energy’s surplus interconnection strategy. By connecting through the existing switchyard of an adjacent gas-fired peaking facility, the project leveraged available grid capacity rather than requiring a new interconnection, illustrating one approach to accelerating… […]
PG&E launches VPP program tapping into home batteries and heat pumps September 3, 2026
Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has launched a large virtual power plant (VPP) program it is calling SHARE (Smart Home Assets for Reliability and Efficiency). The California utility is working with Rewiring America, Google, Carrier, Tesla, Sunrun, Renew Home, Demand Side Analytics, encoord and other partners to deploy the new VPP in Bay Area communities.… […]
Scaling U.S. solar manufacturing — what can be learned from SEG Solar? September 3, 2026
Having recently attended the opening ceremony of SEG Solar’s second module factory in Tomball, Texas, I decided to take a closer look at a company that has become one of the most visible in the U.S. solar industry, having moved quickly through the initial manufacturing investment cycle that was stimulated by the Inflation Reduction Act… […]
