Researchers in Türkiye have used biodegradable nanoparticles to deliver a plant growth hormone to grapevines, producing heavier bunches and stronger berry attachment in a small trial that suggests a possible way to improve crop production and reduce food waste.

A portable device that uses LiDAR, radar, AI and a laser to detect and kill mosquitoes is now being sold commercially, raising a much bigger question than whether people will pay around US$1,000 to keep insects away from their patios and instead focusing attention on whether precision technology could eventually reduce our reliance on chemical mosquito control.

A US fusion company has demonstrated a new way of converting energy from a fusion plasma directly into electricity, while separate work on advanced electrical conductors could dramatically reduce the amount of power lost as heat, highlighting how the clean energy challenge is increasingly about efficiency as well as generation.

Researchers have demonstrated a controversial new method for generating tiny amounts of electricity from Earth’s rotation through its own magnetic field, opening debate about whether the planet itself could one day become a source of continuous renewable energy.

A US startup has raised $140 million to build autonomous floating AI data centres powered by ocean waves, as the technology industry searches for new ways to meet the rapidly growing energy demands of artificial intelligence.

Electric air taxis have completed real-world flights over New York City, offering a glimpse of a quieter, zero-emissions alternative to short urban helicopter journeys and raising important questions about how sustainable urban transport could evolve.

German climate technology company AIRMO is developing a new satellite system designed to precisely detect methane emissions from individual sources on Earth, potentially transforming how greenhouse gas leaks are monitored worldwide.

Trials in the United States and Europe are testing whether embedding wireless charging systems beneath road surfaces can support electric vehicles while driving and reduce reliance on plug-in infrastructure.

An Essex couple have become the first in the UK to heat their home using a mini data centre in their garden shed, in a trial designed to cut energy bills and support low income households through the transition to net zero.
