Towards discovering magneto-optical materials
Lux-Inventa is a project funded by the European Research Council, aimed at developing magneto-optical materials. This is a photoreactive material magnetized by visible light. The magneto-optical effect is a change in magnetic moment in response to visible light and occurs in a compound called an optical magnet. It was created by pioneers in the field […]
Biolargo begins testing Verralize’s portable PFAS test kit
Biolargo, Inc. is Verralize, Inc. We have started the “Alpha Test” portable PFAS test kit developed by. Verralize’s “Lab-on-a-sensor” PFAS test kit allows for rapid and on-site detection of Forever Chemicals, which are regulated under the US Safe Drinking Water Act. The kit is user-friendly, cost-effective and allows you to distinguish between different PFAS molecules, […]
Tamu Cri expands innovative cosmic radiation detectors
Prairie View A&M University’s Radiation Institute for Science Engineering (Raise) has developed and launched two first cosmic radiation measurement payloads. Recently, we have designed and developed two innovative space radiation payloads with minimum mass (
How energy storage redefines European electricity ecosystems
Jacopo Tosoni, policy director at the European Energy Storage Association (Easy), explains the rapid reshaping of European energy systems driven by cost declines, policy support, grid resilience and energy security. As Europe accelerated its transition to decarbonized energy systems, energy storage quickly emerged as the basis for this transformation. Once a niche technology becomes, energy […]
Sellafield Laptop Recycling Scheme Bridge Digital Difference
The joint laptop recycling scheme at Sellafield will help bridge the digital gap across UK schools, charities and community groups. Passing a laptop that was previously used might seem like a simple act of generosity, but according to Sellafield, its laptop recycling scheme is key to increasing educational achievement. The initiative is the fourth year […]
The US launches the world’s first nuclear microreactor testbed
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is leading reactor experiments at its upcoming operating dome (Microreactor experiment demonstration) facility, selecting two companies, Westinghouse and Radiant. Starting early at the Idaho National Laboratory in spring 2026, these tests mark the world’s first fuel microreactor experiment, potentially dramatically accelerating the commercial deployment of nuclear microreactor technology. The […]
How the US tackles the threat of PFAS chemicals
Over 165 million Americans can drink PFA-contaminated drinking water. This is a synthetic “eternal chemical” associated with serious health problems. From fire foam bubbles at military bases to carpets at dye-resistant homes, these substances are embedded in modern life. Now, decades after their introduction, the US is facing a PFAS chemical crisis that will not […]
Advance the optical network of the 6G revolution
The EU-funded Flexscale project is a pioneering optical network technology that enables unprecedented data speeds while dramatically reducing the energy consumption of the next generation of 6G telecommunications infrastructure. As global data traffic continues to surge exponentially, communications networks face unprecedented challenges. While the continuous deployment of 5G has already pushed current infrastructure to its […]
How Living Architecture Redefines Green Buildings
Ellie Gabel explores how living architectures integrate biomimicry, biofilic design, and smart materials to create adaptive, low impact buildings built for resilience and sustainability. Industrial, construction and energy trendsetters are innovating past standard sustainable solutions. Energy efficiency and low waste setups are essential for eco-friendly buildings, but when biomimics and other advanced technologies are incorporated, […]
UKAEA and EMCCA sign a 20-year Fusion Energy Training Partnership
The UK Atomic Energy Agency (UKAEA) and the East Midlands Total County Bureau (EMCCA) have announced a 20-year partnership to advance fusion energy training and skill development. This long-term initiative is intended to provide a pipeline of highly skilled workers who are committed to building and operating the UK prototype fusion power plant in West […]
