Astronomers have picked up radio waves from an exoplanet for the first time, a signal that could indicate auroras similar to those seen on Earth and the solar system's giant planets. The detection opens a new way to study magnetic fields and atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars, and scientists say future observations could reveal more about potentially habitable worlds far beyond our solar system.
- 4Philadelphia-area schools turn to solar power to cut utility costsโPhiladelphia-area schools are tapping the sunโs energy and saving money on utilities
Schools in the Philadelphia area are installing solar energy systems to reduce their utility bills. By tapping the sun's energy, districts aim to lower operating costs and free up funds for classrooms. The move reflects a broader trend of public institutions adopting renewable energy to manage budgets and sustainability goals.
- 5Kubota unveils agrivoltaic system for rice farming under solar panelsโKubota agrivoltaic system allows rice farming and combine harvesting beneath elevated solar panels
Kubota has introduced an agrivoltaic system that lets farmers grow and combine-harvest rice beneath elevated solar panels. By raising the panels high enough for standard machinery to pass underneath, the setup allows the same land to produce both food and renewable electricity. The concept is drawing attention as Japan and other countries look to expand solar capacity without sacrificing limited farmland.
