EU funded research is analysing recycled factory heat to create novel systems that recover waste heat and return it for reuse in industrial process...

Temperatures climb as mercury rises, impacting urban areas

Researchers have investigated the impacts on those who inhabit urban areas as mercury rising influences temperatures. Urban areas impacted For some urban areas in the US,...

Radical action must be taken to achieve net zero emissions by 2050

Experts in the BMJ argue that radical action must quickly be taken to change unsustainable and unhealthy behaviours to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Improved polymers could lead to carbon-free society

Scientists recently reported industry-friendly synthesis of chemically modified SIS to improve the mechanical properties of styrenic block polymers and lead to a carbon-free society. Polymers Thermoplastic...

The Himalayan glaciers are melting at a remarkable rate
