We’ve figured out how to harness renewable energy from many natural systems, like solar, wind, and geothermal power. But what about the ocean’s waves? It might seem like converting wave power into ...

After more than a decade of planning, permitting, community outreach, drilling, cable-laying and construction, Oregon is now home to the largest-capacity wave energy testing facility in the world.

A laser-equipped research platform has, for the first time, photographed airflow just millimeters above ocean waves, revealing two simultaneous wind–wave energy-transfer tricks—slow short waves steal ...

Floating blue paddles dance on the waves that lap a dock in the Port of Los Angeles, silently converting the power of the sea into electricity. Floating blue paddles dance on the waves that lap a dock ...

Harnessing the power of the ocean, Dolphin Labs’ xNode buoy system might be the sustainable energy technology wave of the future. Sustainable energy is not only beneficial but essential, and ocean ...

A single underwater cable supplies Beaver Island with its power. Storms, which are becoming increasingly frequent and severe with climate change, have knocked out the lights for days. A maritime ...

Ocean waves possess enough energy to meet global energy needs multiple times over, offering a massive potential source of clean, baseload power. Recent scientific research explores the interaction of ...

What if the key to solving the renewable energy puzzle has been quietly rolling beneath the surface all along? While solar panels and wind turbines dominate the conversation, the vast, untapped power ...

Did you know that at least since the 17 th century, humans have studied how to turn ocean waves into energy? But like with many other renewable energies, it was only after the oil price crisis of 1973 ...
