Heiner Camacho is addressing the costliness of the green energy transition by proposing the use of an intellectual property-based device to harvest the mechanical movements of ocean tides and waves. This innovative approach aims to transform this kinetic energy into electricity, specifically to power the hydrolytic process for obtaining “Green…

Despite a detailed understanding of the constituents of matter, we don’t yet know why matter exists. Precision measurements, able to provide potential answers, are limited by the size of data sets. High data rates are therefore needed in experiments but require exceptional computing power. Traditional CPU-based systems do not meet…

The Travelling Telescope is a social enterprise dedicated to promoting science, technology and sustainability through astronomy and space endeavours. We run a biweekly quiz for anyone across the planet to join in, test their astronomy knowledge, test their music knowledge, and learn a little from our esteemed guests who give…

How Climate Science Calls For Radical Changes in Energy Policy On the long and winding road to more sustainable energy and climate policies, the year 2015 saw several unexpected and positive developments – the largest fossil fuel divestment campaign in history reached its peak and led to trillions of dollars…
