When rockets blast off Earth, they rely on tiny metal powders to help propel them into space. Now, an emerging group of startups and scientists is hoping to harness these particles for something more terrestrial: producing carbon-free energy for factories. Powdered iron can be combusted in industrial boilers to…

<p>Volkswagen Group has just reached 4 million electric vehicle (BEV) cumulative deliveries. It&#8217;s a nice milestone to celebrate, and not a lot of automakers can claim to have achieved this, but it&#8217;s also far off of the company&#8217;s plans from just a handful of years ago. If you&#8217;re confused because ...

But, as net metering rules change and electricity prices keep climbing, the value proposition isn’t as clear as it once was. Instead of sending extra power back to the grid, homeowners are increasingly deciding that it makes more sense to hold on to that excess power for themselves.</p> <a class="more-link" href="https://electrek.co/2026/03/07/batteries-become-the-new-home-solar-as-net-metering-evolves-and-energy-prices-soar/#more-458533">more…</a>

Ormuz es el único paso marítimo que conecta el golfo Pérsico con el golfo de Omán y el océano Índico y por allí circula el 20 % del crudo mundial y también importantes partidas de gas natural licuado (LNG).

El cierre prolongado del Estrecho de Ormuz ha dejado a los principales países exportadores de Oriente Medio sin rutas para sacar su producción.

Las fibras pueden fabricarse con diámetros extremadamente pequeños sin perder robustez mecánica, lo que abre posibilidades de diseño difíciles de alcanzar con cables metálicos.

Sensores de plasma más inteligentes y resistentes podrían ser la clave para llevar la energía de fusión del laboratorio a la red eléctrica.

Un equipo liderado por el investigador Martín Fañanás, del Centro Singular de Investigación en Química Biolóxica e Materiais Moleculares (CiQUS) de la Universidad de Santiafgo de Compostela ha dado con este innovador hallazgo.

El proyecto europeo RAWMINA concluye tras cuatro años y medio de investigación con resultados orientados a la recuperación de materias primas críticas.

La aprobación garantiza la calidad de las soluciones solares flotantes desarrolladas por la empresa, así como la conformidad y fiabilidad de sus diseños de anclaje.

Un estudio de la consultora Natural Power destaca ahorros para el proyecto escocés Teviot.

27 estados anuncian nuevas leyes de energía fotovoltaica plug-and-play.

Las energías limpias pierden casi un punto de cuota a favor del gas cuya producción eléctrica aumentó un 10%.
