  • Renewable Energy Concepts for Net Zero within Hospitality Industry

    Renewable Energy Concepts for Net Zero within Hospitality Industry

    The first IET, Central London Network, Wednesday evening talk for 2025 was really successful. George Ashley-Cound gave a brief talk on the multiple approaches he's taken to reducing energy use in or sourcing renewable energy, primarily solar power, for the hospitality industry. While his talk didn't have much technical detail into the variety of projects George had worked on, the quick review of each project, followed by a very long Q&A session, with a lot of interesting questions from the audience resulted in a very interesting session. George's talk covered everything from monitoring energy use in a Cardiff ice skating rink to the use of perovskite solar cells. Along the way he gave examples of both local and global monitoring of energy use within a range of venues (the ice skating rink…

  • MOD successfully trials robot dogs for bomb disposal

    MOD successfully trials robot dogs for bomb disposal

    In a trial by the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MOD), advanced robotic systems – including robot dogs – have successfully demonstrated their capability to detect and defuse bomb threats. Bomb disposal operations are extremely hazardous. To significantly reduce the risk to military personnel, the MOD is trialling a new approach to performing bomb disposal operations. In trials led by the MOD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), bomb disposal robot dogs were used to detect and defuse bomb threats. In a series of scenarios, the robot dog was asked to perform tasks including opening and closing doors autonomously, navigating stairs, inspecting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and firing disruptors at the IEDs to render them safe. Other robotic systems used in the trial included…

  • Government pledges £2.65bn to strengthen UK flood defences amid rising climate risks

    Government pledges £2.65bn to strengthen UK flood defences amid rising climate risks

    The government will commit £2.65bn to shoring up the UK’s flood defences as climate change threatens homes in low-lying areas. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) said the money will benefit around 52,000 properties by March 2026 when the new defences are expected to be completed. The frequency of extreme weather events in the UK and around the world is continuing to rise as climate change warms the planet. But the UK is particularly susceptible because of its geographical location, sitting between warm tropical air from the south and cold polar air from the north. According to a study last year, extreme UK rainfall experienced during autumn and winter 2023/24 was made 10 times more likely because of human-induced climate change. Defra said the Labour government…
