Forget the flour power ground out in the late 1800s and early 1900s — the old Pillsbury A Mill could soon be heating and cooling buildings — plenty of buildings, if theory becomes reality. A pair of ...

Geothermal energy is a reliable, low-emission power source that can repurpose abandoned oil and gas wells. New engineering ...

Hydrothermal systems tap into underground hot water and steam to generate electricity. These resources are concentrated in geologically active areas where heat, water and permeable rock naturally ...

The colorful Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park is the park’s largest and the third-largest spring in the world. Research by UW Professor Ken Sims and colleagues has provided new ...

We examine means for driving hydrothermal activity in extraterrestrial oceans on planets and satellites of less than one Earth mass, with implications for sustaining a low level of biological activity ...

Geothermal energy now stands out as a reliable, low-carbon solution in the transition to a balanced energy mix. While conventional geothermal systems rely on specific geological conditions, such as ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides scientists with a powerful new tool for ...

Hydrogen-producing hydrothermal systems in the deep ocean are rare but critical to understanding Earth's internal processes and the conditions that may have fostered life's origins. Now scientists ...

PHOENIXVILLE — Phoenixville officials recently announced plans to install the first hydrothermal carbonization system at a municipal wastewater treatment plant in all of North America. The new ...
