Technology

Battery technology is essential to reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. But they must be more sustainable and easily disposable.

Geo-engineering 'turns hearts and minds away from the cause of the climate crisis and inevitably dilutes the urgency with which it must be addressed'.

Machine learning can make a huge impact on the planet ranging from energy efficiency to reducing the impact of emissions.

'We have the tools, the precedent, and the ingenuity to leave crude, inaccurate animal tests behind.'

The supposedly 'free' digital platforms that we are using to stay connected during the pandemic come with huge social and ecological costs.

The second in a three-part interview on capitalism and climate breakdown from Political Economy for the End Times.

The 'Absolute Zero' report demonstrates how the UK can deliver on its climate change commitments. In doing so, it debunks technological utopianism - but what of economy and class?

Blockchain can help us create the infrastructure for efficient circular economies - reducing waste and tackling climate breakdown.

A sufficient reduction in emissions can only be achieved if all countries are fully committed to a coordinated, cooperative effort.

New manufacturing technologies could revolutionise our food system, dramatically reducing it's environmental footprint.

Beyond solar: the renewable energy you've never heard of...

Even well-meaning efforts to tackle environmental crisis often ignore a basic reality: the profound two-way relationship between economics and ecology.

What Remains is a game that draws parallels between industry disinformation campaigns from the 1980s and today.

Biomimicry in tech and engineering demonstrates how much we have to learn from nature and natural systems.

The Anthropocene is generating despair and desolation. The Symbiocene represents its opposite.

Artificial intelligence can help to track and prevent chimpanzee trafficking across the globe.

What role does technology play in our ecologically sustainable future, and how do we get there?

Innovative technology could prevent hundreds of thousands of marine creatures from being accidentally killed in fishing nets.

Now is the time for experts, activists and workers to collaborate on well-designed, affordable and energy-positive buildings.

As the toll of climate change rises, as the summers become hotter, we have the opportunity to link struggles for cooler cities with other progressive demands. From the SYMBIOSIS RESEARCH COLLECTIVE

Professor KIM SAMUEL says we should turn away from wifi, mobile phones and social media to put wellbeing at the heart of student care as the new school and university year begins

The development of meat-like foods is introducing GM and novel technology into our diets. This presents new risks to our health, but also to the complex development of behaviour to prevent environmental destruction, argues PAT THOMAS

A new study explains for the first time how nanoparticles like those in diesel exhaust fumes cause heart disease by lodging in inflamed blood vessels, writes Oliver Tickell. The study, published as the UK government is ordered before the High Court to justify its refusal to publish plans to tackle illegal air pollution which afflicts 38 million people, also raises wider fears about 'engineered nanoparticles' in the environment.

Nuclear power was originally sold on a lie, writes Dave Elliott. While we were being told it would make electricity 'too cheap to meter', insiders knew it cost at least 50% more than conventional generation. Since then nuclear costs have only risen, while renewable energy prices are on a steep decline. And now the nuclear behemoths are crumbling ... not a moment too soon.
