At the surface of the Sun, sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth, but its energy spent an estimated 100,000 years diffusing outward through the Sun's dense radiative zone before it escaped — meaning the energy warming your skin this afternoon was generated in the core when Neanderthals were still walking Europe
10+ hour, 17+ min ago (744+ words) The sunlight on your skin left the Sun's surface eight minutes ago, but the energy it carries spent tens of thousands of years random-walking through the Sun's radiative zone before it escaped. By The Long View · Edited by Maria Published…...
Paper bags and cardboard boxes normally headed for the trash were carbonized into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the resulting electrodes survived 1,200 charge cycles — roughly twice the durability of anodes used in current phone batteries

In the late 1990s San Miguel Island held 15 foxes, down from about 450; after 44 golden eagles were relocated and 226 captive-bred foxes returned, the island counted roughly 322 in 2024
2+ day, 9+ hour ago (388+ words) Fifteen foxes. That was the count on San Miguel Island at the end of the 1990s, on an island that had carried about 450 of them, a population so small that biologists could have known every animal by name and very nearly…...
From 1999 to 2006 crews moved 44 golden eagles off the Channel Islands and cleared more than 5,000 feral pigs from Santa Cruz; that island's fox count rose from 55 to 3,086 by 2024
2+ day, 9+ hour ago (323+ words) What looked like a conservation dead end became the fastest mammal recovery ever recorded—all by removing the predators and competitors that nearly erased an island fox from existence. By Lab Report · Edited by Justin Brown Published September 12, 2026 · How we…...
The world could have accumulated 78 million tons of retired solar panels by 2050. A team in South Korea pulled the silicon out of end-of-life panels, purified it to 99.95 percent, and cooked it into silicon nitride, the hard ceramic used in bearings.

Sweden imported nearly three million tonnes of other countries’ garbage in a single year and was paid roughly 373 kronor for every tonne it accepted — because its waste-to-energy plants burn what others throw away to help heat more than a million homes
4+ day, 9+ hour ago (430+ words) By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 10, 2026 · How we edit Rubbish may be the only cargo in Europe where the sender pays the receiver and both parties walk away pleased. None of it is being bought. Sweden charges for the…...
Reykjavík, Iceland heats every home, its swimming pools and even some streets with geothermal energy — tapping water that began as rain and snowmelt, seeped kilometres underground and returned hot from the rock
5+ day, 8+ hour ago (548+ words) A renewable heating system perfected over decades now warms nearly every Icelandic home—and the country is racing to export the technology before climate change rewrites the rules of geothermal abundance.

Researchers heated egg yolk and leftover rice until it was a black powder full of tiny holes, then used it to store electricity. They charged it and drained it 10,000 times, and it still held 82.26 percent of what it did the first time.
5+ day, 17+ hour ago (515+ words) A humble kitchen waste might outlast the batteries powering your phone. By Lab Report · Edited by Mal James Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Why would anyone cook egg yolk and old rice into a battery material? It sounds like a…...
A research centre in the Netherlands pipes human urine from office toilets into bacteria-filled cells that turn the waste into electricity while recovering valuable nutrients — and the same technology can be configured to produce hydrogen

A data center in Denmark gives away heat that data centers often waste. It runs water from the city's heating network through its cooling units and into heat pumps that raise it enough to fill the radiators of 11,000 homes
1+ week, 26+ min ago (616+ words) As data centers consume ever more power, one facility in Denmark shows how to turn a costly cooling problem into a heating solution for thousands of households. By Science Blog Editorial Team · Edited by Mal James Published September 7, 2026 · How we…...
