They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. But to say the same of paintings would be an understatement. Artists put in hours (if not days and weeks) in the work they do. I remember aspiring to be a pencil artist only to realize that the video tutorials we see on YouTube involve people who’ve honed the skill over time. After numerous trial and error sessions, they have made it to a stage where only a few get to.

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.

A new “keyhole surgery”-style mining technique could allow metals to be extracted from underground ore bodies without the need for vast physical excavations. The approach, which is based on electrokinetics and was developed by an international team of researchers, could reduce the environmental impact of mining while making deep ore deposits more accessible.

In an experimental first, scientists in the US have studied the dynamics of liquid water at temperatures below 230 K. Greg Kimmel and Loni Kringle of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Washington used ultrafast laser pulses to “stop and start” the evolution of supercooled water in the nanoseconds before it froze, performing measurements in a temperature region that has been inaccessible to previous experiments.

Many of us from the first generation of environmental lawyers are contemplating retirement or have already taken that step—some voluntarily, and some involuntarily.
