    A Guide to Inspiring Young Minds: How to Give an Engaging STEM Talk to School Children

    Alexandra Knight, Founder and CEO of STEMAZING gives us her top tips on how to give an engaging STEM talk to children... In today's rapidly evolving world, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education is more critical than ever. Meeting STEM professionals in a school setting helps raise awareness and aspirations of STEM careers for young people and builds the confidence of teachers with these subjects too. This is a vital part of the solution to plug the STEM skills gap and drive greater diversity in our future STEM workforce. There is so much to be done, and we need to scale up our collective efforts to make real impact. I’m super passionate about encouraging more STEM professionals to engage young people in schools to open children’s minds to exciting career paths…

  • £1.5m solar heat installation project takes shape on the roof of the British Library

    £1.5m solar heat installation project takes shape on the roof of the British Library

    Solar tech company Naked Energy is installing the UK’s largest solar heat project across 712.5m2 of roof space on the Grade I listed building. The installation is expected to reduce the building’s CO2 emissions by 55 tonnes and generate 216MWh of energy annually – the equivalent of powering and heating a community centre or swimming pool for a year. Naked Energy’s technology combines solar photovoltaic and thermal (PVT) technology to generate both electricity and heat from a single collector. These solar PVT collectors, called VirtuPVT, which Naked Energy says are the highest energy density solar technology in the world, can deliver a peak efficiency of 80%, converting 20% of the sun’s energy to electricity and 60% to heat. Being modular in design, these collectors can easily be installed…

  • Direct air capture plant in Canada aims to remove up to one million tonnes of CO2 a year

    Direct air capture plant in Canada aims to remove up to one million tonnes of CO2 a year

    London start-up Mission Zero Technologies (MZT) is working with Montreal-based Deep Sky, the world's first tech-agnostic carbon removal project developer, to validate its electrochemical direct air capture (DAC) technology. MZT’s compact modular DAC system has been delivered and installed at Deep Sky’s carbon removal innovation and commercialisation centre, Deep Sky Labs, in Alberta, Canada. Powered by renewable solar energy, Deep Sky will use MZT’s containerised system to recover CO2 from the atmosphere for permanent storage underground. The aim is to initially demonstrate carbon removal on a small scale using MZT’s technology through capturing up to 250 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere each year. Having validated the technology, the DAC system will then be scaled into a commercial…

  • Climate change could push endangered whale sharks into ship collisions, study finds

    Climate change could push endangered whale sharks into ship collisions, study finds

    Climate change could increase the risk of whale sharks colliding with large ships, according to a University of Southampton study. The authors predict that increased ocean temperatures will push this already endangered species into new habitats crossed by busy shipping lanes. Such a move could increase the chance of collisions by up to 15,000 times by the end of the century compared with the present day. Lead author Dr Freya Womersley said: “These shifts in the whale sharks’ habitat were most extreme under high-emission scenarios. A global reshuffling could lead to core habitat losses in some areas as well as increased co-occurrence with shipping traffic as oceans warm and other variables change.” Whale sharks, the world’s largest fish, are highly mobile and responsive to changes in temperature…
