Climate change is a growing existential threat to human society. Extreme weather events are on the increase and the oceans and land are warming. Climate inaction has a human, environmental, and economic cost. A report published online by the Climate Council of Australia has counted the economic cost of Australia’s inaction on climate change.

More than 300 million tons of plastic waste are produced annually, which causes serious environmental issues because of plastic's life cycle and the difficulty of eliminating it.
Because of their high strength and light weight, carbon-fiber-based composite materials are gradually replacing metals for advancing all kinds of products and applications, from airplanes to wind turbines to golf clubs. But there's a trade-off.
A digital, urbanised world consumes huge amounts of raw materials that could hardly be called environmentally friendly. One promising solution may be found in renewable raw materials, according to research published in Advanced Materials.
An international team of scientists from Austria and Germany has launched a new paradigm in magnetism and superconductivity, putting effects of curvature, topology, and 3D geometry into the spotlight of next-decade research. The results are published in Advanced Materials
Controlling the morphology of photoactive layers towards nanoscale bi-continuous donor/acceptor interpenetrating networks is a key issue to build high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs).
A new study shows that compressed blocks of pulverized coal can be used as the foundation for solar-powered off-grid water purification. The technology is already being advanced by commercial partners to achieve pilot-scale production of drinking water.
Carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon nanodots, carbon nanotubes, crystalline, and diamond, all display exceptional electrochemical properties, which has led to them being considered for a wide range of differen...
