Researchers in Japan have developed a new technique for creating polymers. This discovery is expected to lead to the development of plastics that are more environmentally friendly, heat resistant, and transparent.
Previous research, such as that performed by Nobel laureate Giulio Natta’s group in the 1960s, created polymers using a technique called asymmetric cationic polymerization. However, their group could not
LED technology has transformed the lighting industry in recent years. At the same time, buildings’ energy efficiency has become a top priority in the fight against carbon emissions.
A study by market research firm Guidehouse Insights examines how the two trends have converged, especially as it concerns commercial buildings.

Woodberry Down is a 30-year regeneration project next to Finsbury Park that Berkeley started in 2009. More than 5,500 mixed-tenure new homes are planned. The development is being built over eight phases, and will include parkland, open water and a nature reserve – the Woodberry Wetlands.
Vital Energi has been brought in to install 800kW of air source
Homes England has appointed the contractor to deliver over £100M of vital infrastructure at the regeneration site. With work expected to begin imminently, this contract marks another significant milestone for unlocking the city-centre brownfield site, which has been
A strain-sensing smart skin developed at Rice University that uses very small structures, carbon nanotubes, to monitor and detect damage in large structures is ready for prime time.
The “strain paint” first revealed by Rice in 2012 uses the fluorescent properties of nanotubes to show when a surface has been deformed by stress.
Now developed as part of a non-contact
