A new study sheds light on how farmer-led collaboration can help create the conditions to address biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes. The research looks at “farmer clusters”—groups of farmers working together across landscapes to support […]
When we moved into our house, there was a shed in the garden. Its timbers were rotten, the floor had long since disappeared into the ground, there was no door, the window had fallen out […]
Cars with self-driving features are supposed to promise a safer and more convenient future. But there’s a problem: human brains weren’t designed for the strange new role these vehicles demand of us.This post was originally […]
Farmers now have more reasons to consider rotating their crops, University of Alberta research shows. Widely used to restore soil health, the agricultural practice boosts the diversity of bacterial and fungal microbes that benefit soil […]
Demand-side flexibility, the ability to adjust electricity consumption in response to system needs, is often highlighted as a key tool for managing both growing electrification and a higher share of variable renewable energy, and is […]
A little-known fact: In the year 1900, electric cars outnumbered gas-powered ones on the American road. The lead-acid auto battery of the time, courtesy of Thomas Edison, was expensive and had a range of only […]
In the U.K., 28 million households consume 25% of the total energy and contribute to 25% of the carbon emissions. Focusing on sustainability and energy efficiency within the building sector is vital if the U.K. […]
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have uncovered fundamental insights into designing gallium nitride (GaN) power transistors, making them safer and easier to utilize in high-value electronics such as electric vehicles and data […]
Hydrogen is widely regarded as one of the cleanest fuels for the future, producing only water when used. However, generating hydrogen efficiently and sustainably remains a major challenge. Most current technologies waste a large portion […]
As solar energy rapidly expands to meet urgent climate targets and increasing demand for electricity, the key challenge is to ensure that this transition is not just scalable but sustainable. Pioneering research led by Northumbria […]
