Improve our response to Pacific earthquakes
Giuseppe Marra, the lead scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, shares more about new technologies that detected earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. Using a new detection method that converts submarine fiber optic cables into sensors for earthquakes, researchers were able to successfully detect earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists at New Zealand’s National Institute of […]
Glasgow Lab Unis converts 3D printing for space manufacturing
Researchers at the University of Glasgow have launched the world’s first dedicated testing facility for materials aimed at being 3D printed on orbit. Known as Nextspace Testrig, this pioneering platform is designed to ensure that components manufactured in space are structurally sound and safe. As space agencies and private companies move towards building infrastructure directly […]
A boost to SAF sets to help decarbonize and support your work
New measures to help the UK take off as a global leader in sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) support the growth of industries and jobs across the country, and were introduced in Parliament today. Sustainable aviation fuels are an alternative to fossil jet fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an average of 70% on a lifecycle […]

The EU and Japan strengthen their technology and digital partnerships
The EU and Japan recently held their third Digital Partnership Council in Tokyo, strengthening technology and digital cooperation between the two countries. In the face of current global geopolitical uncertainty, the EU and Japan have reaffirmed the growing importance of their technology and digital partnerships. The council was co-chaired by Hena Wilkunen, vice-chairman of technology […]
How do clouds and aerosols affect our climate?
After 20 years of thorough planning and preparation, the European Space Agency (ESA) Earthcare mission is currently in flight, already creating interesting data. I spoke to Mission Manager Björn Frommknecht to see the details. Launched in 2024, ESA’s EarthCare mission is designed to revolutionize our understanding of global observations of clouds, aerosols and radiation, and […]
Is onshore wind set to revive in the UK?
For years, the UK’s land wind sector has made a comeback, with nearly 18 GW of GW queued for connections on the horizon and ambitious new grid reforms. As Suzanna Lashford of Vattenfall Idno points out, ambitions were never an issue. The challenge is now to build projects that will serve both the grid and […]

The key role of lignin in the creation of sustainable bio-based materials.
A research project at the University of Boros in Sweden investigated the chemical modification and use of lignin with sustainable fiber-reinforced materials. Lignin, a by-product of the forest industry, can be used to produce sustainable materials that can not only replace petroleum-based products, but also reduce the weight of the structure without compromising mechanical properties.
