Solar panels work great in full sunlight conditions, but many regions have little sunlight on any given day, meaning there is less energy generated than needed. Now Tufts researchers have discovered that a particular type of jewel orchid, which thrives in low-light conditions, might offer a key to solving this problem.

Modern commercial aircraft flying at high altitudes create longer-lived planet-warming contrails than older aircraft, according to a new study by researchers at Imperial College London. The results, according to the group, mean that although modern planes emit less carbon than older aircraft, they may be contributing more to climate change through contrails.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
