Caterpillar Names Derrick York to Lead Mining Business
Solar Turbines President Derrick York will lead Caterpillar Resource Industries on Nov. 1 as Denise Johnson moves to an advisory role ahead of retirement.
Ready for takeoff: Ken Maassen's classes and hands-on experiences helped prepare him for a career at Lockheed Martin
Maassen, who received a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering, helps integrate gas-turbine engines onto the aircraft.
In 2022, scientists unveiled a wind-turbine material that could be recycled into gummy-bear ingredients. Four years later, where did the idea go?
A viral scientific breakthrough promised to solve wind energy's waste problem—but the gummy bears were never the real goal, and the hype outpaced what the lab could actually deliver.

Little Shop of Physics wins $50K grant to continue science education for kids
Inside the Little Shop of Physics workshop at Colorado State University, a hair dryer is pointed at a pinwheel rigged with color-coded LEDs. When air is shot at it with a certain force, a red light will flicker on. With greater pressure, the light turns orange, followed by blue. The miniature wind turbine was built...

This Compact, Emission-Free Gas Turbine Is Rocket Science
This week’s Current Climate newsletter also looks at America lagging in EVs and charging infrastructure, and Sunrun’s transformation into a company
China’s rare earth dominance highlights global supply chain vulnerabilities
China’s dominance in rare earth processing and magnet manufacturing has given it significant influence over global supply chains for products ranging from electric vehicles and wind turbines to consumer electronics and advanced defense systems, The New York Times reports. Although rare earth minerals are mined in several countries, China controls much of the refining and […]
Siemens Energy weighs spin-off of 'Transformation of Industry' unit, Manager Magazin reports
Siemens Energy is weighing spinning off its "Transformation Of Industry" division, which makes compressors and steam turbines, Manager Magazin reported on Thursday.
What a toy whale tells Pacific Northwest scientists about the potential for renewable tidal energy
Northwest researchers are working to understand the impact of underwater tidal energy turbines on wildlife.
Wind energy is not bad for your health, new research shows
In this study, Osea Giuntella and his colleagues found no adverse physical or mental health affects after the installation of nearby turbines.
Scientists create global treasure map pointing to hidden rare earth deposits
Scientists have created a global “treasure map” for rare earth elements by uncovering where the strange volcanic rocks that contain them are most likely to form. By combining thousands of rock samples with seismic images of Earth’s deep interior, the team discovered that these metal-rich rocks tend to appear along the ancient, thick roots of continents. These unusual rocks, once seen as geological oddities, are now incredibly important because they hold many of the materials used in smartphones, electric vehicles, and wind turbines.

Wind Turbines Once Had One Job: Generate Power. Now Engineers Want Their Towers to Do Something Modern Life Cannot Run Without
Deep in the North Sea, a strange new AI infrastructure plan is taking shape inside offshore wind turbines.
Green hydrogen has a hidden problem and scientists may have fixed it
Green hydrogen could be a game-changer for the clean energy transition—but right now, it’s too expensive and still relies on harmful “forever chemicals.” A new EU-backed project called SUPREME aims to fix that by reinventing how hydrogen is made. Led by the University of Southern Denmark with partners across Europe, researchers are developing a PFAS-free electrolysis system that slashes the use of rare metals like iridium and dramatically cuts costs.
