A new wind turbine blade design that researchers at Sandia developed in partnership with Knight & Carver of San Diego should significantly reduce the cost-of-energy of wind turbines at low-wind-speed ...

A German project, backed by the Schleswig-Holstein Energy and Climate Protection Agency, aims to develop small-turbine rotor ...

Rapid carbothermal shock processing converts shredded wind turbine blade waste into high-purity silicon carbide and graphene, ...

Develop a longer wind turbine blade that will produce more power output without increasing blade weight, the load on the turbine or the costs for transportation to and assembly at the wind farm site.

Those of us who love the idea that wind-generated power could help reduce some of the world's fossil-fuels addiction are conflicted by stories of possible health side effects (headaches and worse) as ...

It is the year 2035. In a world facing climate catastrophe, the human enterprise is powered by fields of wind farms, with turbine blades made from fast-growing grasses and the roots of a ...

For centuries, humans have harnessed wind power as a form of energy by various means, from wind sails to windmills. Today, windmills have evolved into wind farms, consisting of hundreds of wind ...

Wind turbine maker Vestas today announced that it’s figured out how to recycle all wind turbine blades – even ones already sitting in landfills. The Danish company says it has discovered a solution ...

Businesses are usually born out of necessity. In a simplistic way, when someone believes there is or will be a need for a product or service, they'll move to provide that. If that need turns out to be ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...

A blade that fell from a 300-foot-tall turbine has littered a Massachusetts cranberry bog and sparked critics of wind energy ...

Wind turbines generate electricity without using fossil fuels or producing particulate matter pollution, but they do create waste: Though they can last as long as 25 years, turbine blades cannot be ...
