WindEconomics: Gap between US wind and PV narrows Wind power is now the largest renewable energy source in the US — with more than twice the installed capacity of solar PV. But with solar costs falling rapidly, how long can wind hold on to its lead? by David Milborrow Breaking industry news and email bulletins Analysis of the lastest trends to help you make informed decisions Searchable content archive dating back to 1994

Primer on Carbon Dioxide Removal Provides Vital Resource at Critical Time Berkeley Lab scientist is a co-author of new comprehensive guide on ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere January 14, 2021 4 Shares Berkeley Lab researchers are working on ways to sequester more carbon in soil, including through agricultural practices. (Credit: Berkeley Lab) Scientists say that any serious plan to address climate change should include carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies and policies, which makes th...

Biologists reveal unusual structure of coronavirus protein linked to immune evasion A team of HIV researchers, cellular biologists, and biophysicists who banded together to support COVID-19 science determined the atomic structure of a coronavirus protein thought to help the pathogen evade and dampen response from human immune cells. The structural map – which is now published in the journal PNAS, but has been open-access for the scientific community since August – has laid the groundwork fo...

Co-authors Cosmo Buffalo (left) and Richard Hooy discussing the ORF8 structure, shown as a ribbon diagram and space-filling model. (Credit: Kevin Larsen) The molecular basis for the severity and rapid spread of the COVID-19 disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 is mostly unknown. To do so, a team of HIV researchers, cellular biologists, and biophysicists collaborated to determine the atomic structure of a cor...
