The plan, dubbed Project Nexus, is expected to break ground in 2023 and become operational in 2024, bringing 8,500 feet of solar panels to Turlock’s canals. Next year starts an ambitious solar panel project that, if successful, could see thousands of miles of panels installed above California’s irrigation canals. The plan, The plan, dubbed Project […]
Solar radiation from space used to be considered science fiction. But in recent years, space agencies around the world have launched studies into the feasibility of building real power plants in orbit. Such projects would be difficult to pull off, stakeholders agree, but as global attempts to curb climate change continue to fail, such moonshot […]

Demand for solar panels has shot up to unprecedented levels in Spain as Europe’s energy crisis shows no sign of letting up, in a welcome boost for a sector with huge potential. “Here we have sun almost all year round,” said Paloma Utrera showing off the black panels installed on her roof in Pozuelo de […]
For decades, scientists have been stumped by the signals plants send themselves to initiate photosynthesis, the process of turning sunlight into sugars. UC Riverside researchers have now decoded those previously opaque signals. For half a century botanists have known that the command center of a plant cell, the nucleus, sends instructions to […]
