People spend 90% of their lives in buildings, which act as a protective “third skin” from the elements, but climates are becoming more extreme and so the design of places we live and work in […]
As solar energy is rapidly becoming the world’s largest renewable power source, new research from McGill University offers a clearer picture of how much land that growth could require and how smarter choices could mitigate […]
Wildfires have increased in frequency and severity over the past few decades. More fires are burning at the wildland-urban interface (WUI), where homes and other buildings meet the natural landscape—but our understanding of emissions from […]
Plants around the world are flowering earlier in the year, a trend attributed to climate change. But there could be another hitherto hidden trigger. Scientists led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences suggest […]
Researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking. Over a ten-week study, they collected signals from more than 20,000 […]
Have you ever stopped to wonder how forecasters can predict the weather days in advance, or how scientists figure out how the climate might evolve under different policies?This post was originally published on this site.
Indoor farms, also known as vertical farms, are popular among agricultural researchers and are expanding across the agricultural industry. Some benefits they have over outdoor farms include the year-round production of food crops, less water […]
Pyrochlore oxides—a class of advanced dielectric materials—represent a promising next-generation approach to efficient energy storage. Their structural flexibility and tunable chemical composition make them prime candidates for dielectric energy storage applications.This post was originally published […]
Green hydrogen is considered to be an important part of the global climate transition, especially as a fuel and energy carrier for heavy transport and industry. However, large-scale green hydrogen production requires sustainable ways of […]
If you were one of the many amateur bakers who learned to bake sourdough bread during lockdown, you’ll know how complex a single loaf can be. The rise of the bread, moisture, firmness and even […]
