The shipping industry is responsible for a sizeable chunk of GHG emissions. Could ancient technique paired with new tech be the answer?
Climate-adaptive windows with a heat-repellent coating offer a means of cooling buildings without the need for additional energy consumption.
With their combed front edge and fringe at the back, owl wings could serve as the ideal model for quieter wind turbines.
Bob Dylan famously claimed "the answer is blowin' in the wind". Does the same apply for our growing energy and environmental crisis?
Offshore wind has the potential to become a huge energy resource. But tapping into it comes with many issues. A new radical design to turbine looks to change this.
Conventional electric street lights not only use up energy - they're also a source of light pollution, affect local biodiversity and can reduce quality of life for city dwellers. A new design for a wind- powered, motion-detecting street light might help.
Everyone knows a lack of wind is a problem for wind farms, but did you know too much wind is equally as problematic? A new design of floating offshore wind turbine hopes to change that.
An aquarium in Florida achieves a world first by artificially growing ridged cactus coral in their specialised laboratory nurseries.
In Germany, the rate of construction of new wind turbines has slowed dramatically - which could have fatal consequences for the energy transition. One of the reasons that new turbines face opposition is that the giant blades endanger near-flying birds. BirdVision is tackling the problem with the help of AI.
