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.

In their latest research, Farneda and colleagues show how secondary forest regeneration affects the evolutionary dimension of bat diversity in the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) landscape, Central Amazon, Brazil. Land-use change across the tropics is pervasive, leading to widespread habitat loss and fragmentation. It is also a key driver of biodiversity loss.

Researchers in Japan have built the first nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) magnet that incorporates high-temperature superconductors with truly superconducting joints between them. This breakthrough all-superconducting configuration enables the device to operate at relatively high magnetic fields in so-called persistent mode, making it suitable for applications such as maglev trains and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Strong interactions between electrons can cause local magnetic moments to emerge in two-dimensional (2D) organic materials. This insight comes from a study by researchers at Monash University in Australia, who created a metal-organic nanomaterial with its molecules arranged in a so-called kagome geometry – a star-like shape consisting of corner-sharing equilateral triangles.

As the COP26 climate summit gets underway in Glasgow, the stakes could not be higher. If we want to limit the average global temperature rise to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, then ambitions need to be raised. The promise from many nations is to reach net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 (or earlier) and interim targets are essential. But the United Nations has just said that the latest commitments of the 192 parties of the 2015 Paris agreement will equate to a 16% rise in global greenho

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.

It saddens me that there are very few of us; it is a reflection of the history of American academia in general and the culture of STEM fields in particular.

Hailed as the favourite warship of England’s King Henry VIII, the Mary Rose sank during the Battle of the Solent in 1545. The wreck was rediscovered in 1971 and was raised 11 years later. The wood was impregnated with a polymer to preserve it and then it was dried so that it could be displayed to the public. Unfortunately, conservators have found that exposure to oxygen has created acidic chemical species in the oak hull, which could further degrade the Mary Rose.
