India is rapidly advancing its renewable energy landscape, and one innovation is standing out as a true game-changer: floating solar power. By installing photovoltaic (PV) panels on reservoirs and other water bodies, India is taking a smart and sustainable step towards meeting its growing energy demands without exacerbating land-use conflicts.

In a groundbreaking development for climate science, an international team of scientists has harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to create 3D profiles of clouds from satellite data. This innovative approach promises to provide new insights into cloud structures and their role in climate systems—something eagerly anticipated by researchers awaiting data from the EarthCARE mission.

Dubai, a city known for its luxury, innovation, and rapid development, has undergone one of the most dramatic urban transformations in modern history. Over the past few decades, it has evolved from a relatively small desert city into a global hub for tourism, business, and architecture. One of the most striking examples of this transformation is the construction of artificial islands, reshaping Dubai’s coastline and expanding its urban landscape.

Morocco gets plenty of sun—about 3,000 hours per year, according to the Solar GCC Alliance. A new solar plant in that desert country is poised to take advantage of the ample Saharan sunlight.
