Deep within the structure of the Mathematics and Computer building (MC) at the University of Waterloo lies one of the most sophisticated and important digital research computing systems in Canada.

Techniques to reflect an additional small portion of sunlight back into space could help cool the planet if deployed globally, but they cannot address the full range of climate impacts or replace emission cuts, according to a Royal Society briefing.

The new heat-resistant material could revolutionize energy storage, making liquid metal batteries safe for mobile applications.

As batteries have gotten cheaper and more powerful, they have enabled the electrification of everything from vehicles to lawn equipment, power tools, and scooters.

Researchers have created a more energy dense storage material for iron-based batteries. 

Today’s computers store information in magnetic hard drives, keeping files safe even when the device is powered off.

Reliable electrical infrastructure is essential for everything that happens at UC Santa Cruz — teaching and research, dining and housing, and supporting the daily needs of thousands of students, faculty, and staff.

The University of Birmingham and Global Hospital have joined forces to install solar power at a Nigerian hospital – providing medical staff with the power required to continue delivering surgery and patient treatment during blackouts.

Improved material performs competitively, is less dense than traditional lead-based energy harvesters, researchers report.

Electrocatalytic transformations not only require electrical energy – they also need a reliable middleman to spark the desired chemical reaction.
