Wastewater treatment is vital to remove pathogens, but is incredibly energy intensive. The ability to treat it more sustainably is a challenge researchers have been able to achieve, using recycled carbon fibre mats to produce hydrogen from waste water.

Changing climatic conditions, the shortage of skilled workers, the use of pesticides - a wide range of factors have an impact on the quality and flow of agricultural processes. Researchers are aiming to make this more efficient and sustainable by means of cloud and AI technologies.

Researchers are using modular software packages to automate capturing, documentation and evaluation processes for battery and fuel cell test data. Material manufacturers, cell developers and research departments can use the visualizations of the results as an effective means of targeting developments and improvements in their products.

With the United Nations' climate conference in Scotland turning a spotlight on climate change policies and the impact of global warming, it's useful to understand what the science shows.
