At this point, most people have heard of AI’s breathtaking potential via ChatGPT, industrial applications, and more. But data centers are looking under the hood of these shiny new features and finding the lesser-known truth: AI’s power demands are equally...Scientists design ultrastable, high-energy-density Zn–Mn battery
A research team led by Prof. Yan Lifeng from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has designed a water-based nanomicellar electrolyte by using methylurea (Mu). The results were published in the Journal of...The future availability of zinc: Potential contributions from recycling and necessary ones from mining
Society’s increasing demand for metals led to the discussion as to whether scarcity of raw materials could lead to supply shortages and to which extend circularity can prevent resource depletion. This study investigates the need for and availability of secondary...Sustainability Case Study
Snowdon Visitors Center
At 1,085 metres, this unique visitor centre is one of the highest building in the UK, responding to one of the most extreme climatic locations: the mountain endures facing winds of 120mph, temperatures that can go below -200C and 5 m of rain every year. The list of special design considerations for this unique project is endless - life cycle costs, building life, sustainable development and complex design considerations.
