Solar energy in the city: Data-driven review on urban photovoltaics

A comparative approach, applying simulation or experimental analyses across multiple urban scenarios, could reveal how different PV technologies might be strategically deployed to

Urban Solar Farms Transform City Spaces into Clean Energy

Urban solar farms represent a groundbreaking shift in how cities harness renewable energy, transforming unused urban spaces into powerful generators of clean electricity.

Aquaculture

Aquaculture is the farming in fresh and saltwater environments of aquatic animals or plants principally for food. Fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and kelp are a few examples.

Ocean Life

Incredible diversity exists in the ocean, from microscopic organisms to the largest animals on Earth.

Five marine living fossils you should know about

Living fossils are among the oldest animals in the ocean. They are rare survivors of ancient lineages and resemble fossils dating back hundreds of millions of years. Many scientists believe

How do marine animals hear?

Sound travels faster and farther in water than air, helping marine animals like whales, corals, and crabs navigate, communicate, and survive by detecting and responding to underwater acoustic signals.

Solar neighborhoods: the impact of urban layout on a large

Achieving net zero energy in urban districts and neighborhoods require the prominent adoption of renewable energy installation on the urban scale. For instance, various neighborhood

Urban Energy Revolution: Building-Integrated Photovoltaics

Unlike traditional PV, these systems serve a dual purpose; it acts both as a power-generating system and a functional part of the building''s envelope. This makes it a space- and

Marine Mammals

Marine mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates (animals with a backbone) that bear live young and nourish them with milk as land mammals do, but that spend most or all of their lives in the

Sharks & Other Fish

Fish are aquatic animals that were among the first vertebrates (animals with a backbone) to evolve on Earth. They are divided into two broad groups: teleosts, which have a bony skeleton and

Jellyfish & Other Zooplankton

Jellyfish and other zooplankton are animals that live all or part of their life suspended and drifting in fresh or salt water, rarely come in contact with hard surfaces.

Sea Life Is Accumulating Pathogens

Marine animals can become infected with zoonotic microbes when they ingest contaminated water while filtering the water for food, or by eating infected prey, such as plankton,
