Solar By Kelly Lippke · July 20, 2026 · 8:40 AM · 5 min read Solar panels catch sunlight beautifully. Storing that energy is another story entirely. When the sun sets or clouds roll in, standard systems struggle to hold onto heat. Releasing it reliably remains a major engineering headache. On cold winter nights, you want that heat instantly. One clever fix uses a phase-change material inside the storage tank. This special substance melts to absorb heat and freezes to release it.

A marine research vessel instigated a deep-sea reconnaissance dive targeted at a pioneering floating wind farm. The work-class ROV enabled an unprecedented look at deep-sea ecosystems around the infrastructure. The unexpected footage from around 328 feet showed a prehistoric-looking fish gathering debris to build a home right under the turbine anchors. What new ecological mechanism linked to the clean energy boom is attracting this deep-water species?

Midstream By Kelly Lippke · July 20, 2026 · 7:09 AM · 5 min read On June 8–9, 2026, Vanzetti Engineering gathered industrial partners, LNG associations, and maritime analysts at its Cavallerleone headquarters in northern Italy for an event that doubled as a product milestone: the public unveiling and live demonstration of the ESK-IMO, a new series of removable submerged cryogenic pumps built for small-scale LNG terminals, FSRUs, and marine bunkering operations.
