The mound of plastic waste kept growing by the day. When the size reached a ‘climax’ of sorts, the ‘boys’ would light it up and see it go in flames. These were all sorts of plastics: From electric accessories to plastic utensils…. From furniture waste to waste packages…. From pharmaceutical products to cosmetics…. The list is endless.

Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) – materials that display no magnetic order, even at the lowest temperatures – are widely regarded as important testbeds for condensed-matter physics. The electron–electron interactions that characterize them play a vital role in high-temperature “unconventional” superconductors, and QSLs themselves have promising applications in information technology and quantum computing.

How can we know what lives in the environments all around us? We are utilizing a way of doing just that at The Nature Conservancy’s Ellsworth Creek Preserve using environmental DNA. Environmental DNA, or eDNA, is the genetic material found in a soil, water or air sample from species as they pass through an environment. Capturing this DNA allows us to provide a census of the diversity of plants, bacteria and animals in a particular area and use the data to inform strategies in how we make decisio

There are many approaches to getting your colleagues on board with going green and implementing environmental sustainability at work. We have addressed some of these in prior posts in this series, including leading by example , story telling , social norms and FOMO and answering WIIFM. Sharing data related to sustainability can also be a powerful way to create change and to get others on board with environmental sustainability.
Speaker: Kevin Kai Wong, President of Emergent Energy Solutions
In today's industrial landscape, the pursuit of sustainable energy optimization and decarbonization has become paramount. Manufacturing corporations across the U.S. are facing the urgent need to align with decarbonization goals while enhancing efficiency and productivity. Unfortunately, the lack of comprehensive energy data poses a significant challenge for manufacturing managers striving to meet their targets.

If you are like me, you probably haven’t spent much time in lifts or elevators recently. But as life slowly returns to normal, I could soon be rocking up at Physics World HQ, jabbing my finger at the call button and getting annoyed when the door doesn’t open immediately. So is there a way to use mathematics to better understand elevator dynamics and predict how long I could have to wait?

Want to learn more on this subject? Watch now. With the increasing interest in MRI-guided interventions, treatment accuracy requires more advanced QA tools to measure distortion and establish accepted thresholds. The QUASAR TM MRID 3D Geometric Distortion System is an advanced time and workflow-efficient method for measuring a full 3D distortion vector field.

Real property law is probably the most antiquated of all legal subjects. Many legal subject matters have been through periods of modernization, when lawyers, judges, and legislatures worked together to update laws for the times. For example, commercial law was modernized in the 1950s when the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) was published as a model act.

In 2011, the European Commission (EC) adopted a Recommendation on the definition of a nanomaterial. The Recommendation invites member states, European Union (EU) agencies, and economic operators to use the definition “in the adoption and implementation of legislation and policy and research programmes concerning products of nanotechnologies.” The EC is now reviewing its Recommendation.

Posted on May 7, 2021 by Dennis M. Toft. It has long been recognized that minority and disadvantaged communities are subject to higher levels of pollution than more affluent non-minority areas. This fact is the basis of the need for Environmental Justice to ensure that the past disparate impacts to these areas are addressed and not further exacerbated.
Speaker: Antoine M. Thompson, Executive Director of the Greater Washington Region Clean Cities Coalition
Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion (DEJI) policies, programs, and initiatives are critically important as we move forward with public and private sector climate and sustainability goals and plans. Underserved and socially, economically, and racially disadvantaged communities bear the burden of pollution, higher energy costs, limited resources, and limited investments in the clean energy and transportation sectors.

On May 7, 2021, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), as many anticipated , published a proposed rule to revoke a Trump Administration rule impacting the scope of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). The Trump Administration rule was finalized on January 7, 2021 and became effective March 8, 2021. It clarified that the MBTA’s prohibition against the take of migratory birds did not extend to death or injury of migratory birds that results from, but is not the purpose of, an action (a
