Scientists are studying Saturn's moon Titan to assess its tidal dissipation rate, the energy lost as it orbits the ringed planet with its massive gravitational force. Understanding tidal dissipation ...

Researchers have cataloged 426 potential tidal-stream turbine sites spread across 19 countries, quantifying a theoretical energy resource of 1,000 terawatt-hours per year from 262 of those locations.

Wind turbines and solar panels will undoubtedly play the central role. But both depend on the weather: wind turbines stand ...

SwRI scientists have determined that at the rate Titan’s orbit is changing, it should have acquired a circular orbit within about 350 million years. The fact that Titan currently has a noncircular or ...
