This startup wants to use the Earth as a massive battery

technologyreview.com Casey Crownhart 2025-12-27 23:00:00

In traditional pumped hydro storage facilities, electric pumps move water uphill, into a natural or manmade body of water. Then, when electricity is needed, that water is released and flows downhill past a turbine, generating electricity.

Quidnet started a six-month test of its technology in late 2024, pr

If you live in a rural or remote area, you likely already know how difficult it is to get a good internet connection. Most rural internet providers are devastatingly slow and typically expensive. Starlink's standard plan has become a lifesaver for those without decent rural internet options, but the hefty up-front cost of equipment, $349, and the monthly rate of $120 make Starlink an unaffordable option for many families in rural areas.

This Star System Contains 5 Potentially Habitable Planets

A team of astronomers from the University of Montreal has discovered a new potentially habitable exoplanet orbiting the red dwarf star L 98-59, 35 light-years from Earth. This discovery means there are now five confirmed planets in this solar system’s “temperate” or “habitable” zone, the region in a solar system where liquid water could exist on planets’ surfaces.
