Why are we using tech from 100 years ago to deliver the world's electricity? Materials scientist Jason Huang shows how we could massively upgrade the global power grid by replacing the wires in existing transmission lines with new,...

Stars have cores hot and dense enough to force atomic nuclei together, forming larger, heavier nuclei in a process known as fusion. In this process, the mass of the end products is slightly less than the mass of the initial atoms. But...

Can you imagine a future where wars are fought not with bombs and bullets but computer viruses and pacemaker shutdowns? Cyberware is unique in that it is not covered by existing legal framework and it often inspires more questions than...

In 1967, Homer Loutzenheuser flipped a switch and connected the power grids of the United States, forming one interconnected machine. Today, the US power grid is the world's largest machine, containing more than 7,300...

Despite the rise of renewable energy, the backbone of the power grid is fossil fuels. Adapting the grid to green energy sources is more complicated than flipping a switch.

Though our Sun is something we can count on to rise and set each day, it also comes with some phenomena that can catch us by surprise: solar winds. To better predict when these winds will travel all the way to Earth, we sent the Parker...

Howcast - Check out part 11 of Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, the third-person shooter from Slant Six Games and Capcom.

With climate change making temperatures more extreme each year, like we recently saw in the great Texas freeze and the Northwest heatwave, large-scale power outages become a matter of life and death. Could a power grid failure during an...

Climate scientists are clear that we need to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And in order to do this, we’re going to need to electrify everything and green the grid. But what will this clean, green future look like? Can we pull...

Space weather can have a major effect on the technology we rely on. And a large solar flare could cause the most significant weather threat because so much of essential services are powered by a functioning electrical grid and a...

The employment of cyberattacks against an adversary state to disrupt critical computer systems and/or inflict damage on the same scale as physical conflict is known as cyberwarfare. Espionage, sabotage, propaganda, manipulation, and...

A severe heat wave affecting 40 million Americans has seen temperatures over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit beat records, with two main causes.

NASA Chief Scientist Jim Green sits down with solar scientist Alex Young to discuss the Sun’s powerful explosions.

Even though our Sun shines bright in the sky, it is shrouded in mystery. In this episode, we'll sit down with scientists working to get us closer to the Sun than ever before.

In a flash, all of your electronics could be gone, and you'd be left thanking a solar storm. However, a collaboration of National Science Foundation-funded scientists has created groundbreaking visualizations to help scientists and...

This video discusses how to identify and manage risks.

This clip is from the chapter "Certified Information Systems Security Professional CISSP Domain 1 - Security and Risk Management" of the series "CISSP® Certification...

In addition to monitoring weather on Earth, the GOES-R satellites will monitor weather in space caused by electromagnetic radiation and charged particles released from solar storms on the Sun. Many people rely on space weather data,...

Heavy rain, lightning, strong winds and other types of severe weather cause power outages by knocking down power lines, blowing objects into overhead lines, flooding power-related equipment, or damaging insulation, among...

A children's hospital in Dnipro, Ukraine, has been heavily damaged following a Russian missile strike, intensifying global outrage over civilian targets being hit in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Emergency crews are on-site as rescue...

A small community near Berlin is getting a lot of attention for being fully powered by renewable energy. There's no coal or gas, but plenty of turbines.

Hackers pose a bigger, dangerous and more nefarious threat to our cities

The Alberta government is pausing the approval of new large renewable energy projects for nearly seven months in response to concerns about developing wind and solar projects on agricultural land.

“We need to be acting like we are going to be the last producer standing instead of the first one out,” Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told Power & Politics Wednesday when asked about the province’s approach to the sustainable jobs plan.
