The UK’s nuclear energy potential is being curtailed by regulatory barriers
The Nuclear Task Force’s preliminary report found reforms needed “at one time” to tackle the UK’s regulatory barriers to nuclear energy. In the first report, the task force states that a “radical reset” is necessary to speed up critical nuclear projects and overcome regulatory barriers facing a new era of nuclear energy. The findings reveal […]
How microclimate engineering fights the impact of urban heat islands
Ellie Gabel details how microclimate engineering can use sustainable design, green spaces and smart technologies to combat urban thermal islands, improve air quality and create cooler and healthier cities. The urban surface can trap heat and raise local temperatures, leading to increased energy consumption due to cooling and air quality issues. MicroClime Engineering adopts sustainable […]
Our interior is scheduled to build a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030
Professor Michael Fitzpatrick, a nuclear technology expert at Coventry University, is discussing NASA’s plans to deploy a small reactor on the moon by 2030, ensuring the reliable strength of its lunar habitat and preparing for a Mars exploration. From the Apollo era to a new push for today’s lunar exploration, American space ambitions have entered […]
Enlight graphite projects to fuel advanced modular reactors in the UK
The University of Manchester has been awarded a £13 million package to lead a groundbreaking programme that can redefine the role of graphite in nuclear power, a key step in deploying the next generation of advanced modular reactors in the UK. With a £8.2 million grant from the UK Research and Innovation Physical Science Research […]
Fred-PFAS: Innovation in PFAS detection
Fredsense Technologies’ innovative Fred-PFAS solution transforms PFAS detection and delivers results in near real-time. One of the most sustainable environmental challenges of the 21st century is the emergence of 1 and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs). These “Forever Chemicals” can be found in thousands of industrial and consumer products, from fire-fighting foam to non-stick cooking utensils. Their […]
Webb Telescope detects gas giants on Earth with the closest star system
In a space perspective, astronomers may have found a new planet’s neighbor, a gas giant circling the Alpha Centauri A, the sun-like star closest to Earth. Just four light years away, this possible Saturn-sized world was detected in the most challenging exoplanet hunt by James Webb’s space telescope. If confirmed, it is the closest planet […]
Selective Absorbing Devices for Safer Water
The fight against PFA pollution has discovered a new alliance in Instraction’s highly selective absorption devices. Monophase and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) have become one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. Known as “eternal chemicals” for their extreme persistence, PFAS compounds are widely found in drinking water sources around the world. In relation […]
13 car models participate in UK electric car grants
Drivers across the country can save even more £1,500 for the UK’s most popular car brands, as Nissan, Renault and Vauxhall models join Citroen in the government’s flagship electric vehicle grant (ECG) scheme. Thirteen electric vehicles have been declared eligible under the electric vehicle grant, bringing the total to 17 models. This boost is part […]
The US workshop is conducting research into the next generation of Higgs Bosons
More than a decade after the discovery of Higgsboson in 2012, global particle physics is preparing for the next leap. In April, about 200 scientists, engineers and students gathered at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Research Institute (Fermi Love) for the Higgs Factory – a future Round Corridor Workshop. The event, co-hosted by […]
