Renewable Energy

The strategic development of an eight-acre solar field near the Polk County jail is projected to offset twenty-five percent of the facility's energy consumption while saving taxpayers millions. This initiative serves as a cornerstone for 1 Source Solar, an Ankeny-based firm that has successfully

Innovative spatial modifications within the electrolyte have transformed the way charge is distributed, leading to a massive increase in the battery's total power density. This breakthrough, spearheaded by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Materials Science and their international partners,

A decades-long warming trend has extended the regional growing season, enabling the successful adoption of soybean varieties with longer maturity windows in the northern Plains. This fundamental shift in climate has allowed North Dakota to shed its historical identity as a wheat-exclusive region,

The global transition toward renewable energy has accelerated the installation of solar photovoltaic systems at an unprecedented rate, yet the industry now faces a paradoxical challenge regarding the lifecycle of these very technologies. As manufacturers strive to make solar power more competitive

Testing the efficiency of wireless power transfer technology remains a critical step before the full-scale commercialization of space-based solar energy systems. This realization comes at a time when the digital world faces a severe energy crisis driven by the exponential growth of artificial

The $591,000 initiative funded by the USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture targets the creation of power-packed fuels for large-scale equipment. While electric batteries have transformed passenger travel, they lack the specific energy density required for commercial aviation or
