Dark energy remains a mystery. Maybe AI can help crack the code

As people struggle to understand dark energy, the mysterious force driving the accelerated expansion of the universe, scientists are beginning to wonder about something rather futuristic. Can computers do better? Well, initial results from a team that used artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to infer the influence of dark energy with unprecedented precision may suggest an … Read more

Icelandic scientists want to drill a hole into a reservoir of molten magma about a mile underground. It could generate unlimited energy.

Clouds of smoke rise from a borehole created when scientists accidentally drilled into a magma chamber in 2009.KMT Scientists in Iceland want to drill directly into an underground magma chamber. The project could provide clues about how volcanoes work and create geothermal energy. The biggest hurdles are getting financing for the project and figuring out … Read more

At COP28, John Kerry unveils the nuclear fusion strategy as a source of clean energy

The United States will work with other governments to accelerate efforts to make nuclear fusion a new source of carbon-free energy, the US climate envoy said John Kerry said Tuesday, marking the latest of many U.S. announcements over the past week aimed at combating climate change. Nuclear fusion fuses two hydrogen atoms together to produce … Read more
