Record-breaking solar generation in 2025 points to ‘structural changes’ in global energy mix

Record-breaking solar generation in 2025 points to ‘structural changes’ in global energy mix

“What we’re seeing is that the generation increases—these record increases—are the results of structural changes in the power system,” he explains. “They’re the result of capacity build-out.” The figures from the report are encouraging reading for the solar industry. The world added a record 636TWh of new solar PV generation in 2025, up from 331TWh

Origins of Comet 3I/ATLAS May Have Been Extremely Cold, Beyond Our Solar System

Origins of Comet 3I/ATLAS May Have Been Extremely Cold, Beyond Our Solar System

Comet 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar traveler, visiting our solar system from another part of the galaxy. While its place of origin remains a mystery, astronomers believe it was formed under conditions far cooler than those of our own planetary system. Writing in Nature Astronomy, researchers from the University of Michigan explain that unusually high levels
