RePlanet Nederland’s review of the draft Delegated Regulation on nuclear energy and gaseous fossil fuels in the sustainable finance taxonomy

Environmental Progress

We believe we must take a science-based approach and prioritize policies and technologies that enable us to liberate nature and elevate humanity. The Regulation requires the use of “best” technologies and standards for existing and future nuclear energy applications as opposed to accepted and appropriate technologies and standards.

Back in Black: Creating positive changes by focusing on a short-lived pollutant

HumanNature

This balance describes how much energy is being reflected back into space versus how much is being absorbed by our atmosphere; a positive change in the balance indicates that we’re taking more energy in (net warming) and a negative balance indicates that we’re reflecting more energy out (net cooling).

Continuous Bose–Einstein condensate opens the door to continuous-wave atom lasers

Physics World

BECs form when a gas of bosonic atoms is cooled to ultracold temperatures. BECs were first made in 1995 and their creators were rewarded with the 2001 Nobel Prize for Physics. Laser cooling is much faster and does not require most of the sample to be lost. Two-stage process. Great progress.
