The devil is in the detail when it comes to switching from electrical to optical communications – and the data-centre boom has provided an opportunity to iron out some of those details.

As the year draws to a close, we at E+T magazine have been looking back at some of the most important trends in engineering and

For the past two decades, AI has shaped the evolution of culture and society far more than humans have. But we walk around in denial, says pioneering AI professor De Kai, who prefers to think of AI behaviour as resembling children more than industrial machines.

Illicit use of GenAI tools may seem like showing initiative, but employees that do so are putting their company’s stability at r

As a historic new treaty to conserve sea life comes into force, how will the world’s most remote oceans be policed and protected?

Cement absorbs and stores millions of tons carbon dioxide from the air over the lifetime of urban buildings and infrastructure, scientists have calculated.

A major study on the economic damages caused from climate change, authored by scientists at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, has been retracted due to inaccuracies with the original data and analysis.

A new report has published data showing that more than 383 million tonnes of industrial CO2 has been stored underground worldwid

One of the simplest machines in engineering has to be the pendulum, a device known to anyone who has ever tied anything to a bit of string. But it has a strange and misunderstood history.

Two clocks that are among the most significant in the history of timekeeping are going on display in London.

Solar radiation management, often called geoengineering, should ‘never’ be the main policy response to climate change and could exacerbate climate-induced stress on human populations if used incorrectly, the Royal Society has said.

The world has now reached a climate change ‘tipping point’ that could see warm-water coral reefs face severe dieback, impacting the near billion people who rely on them.

A study by Australian researchers has found that an almost 4°C rise in global temperatures would cut global GDP by around 40% by 2100.

The biggest-ever annual rise in atmospheric CO2 levels has been recorded by a Hawaii-based atmospheric monitoring station.

The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority has safely converted a can of plutonium residue into a stable waste form for the first time.

A £70m contract has been awarded to Costain to carry out the demolition and height reduction of reactor buildings at Trawsfynydd nuclear power station.

Plans to store Britain’s nuclear waste deep underground have been labelled as ‘unachievable’ by the Treasury.

Nuclear waste could be repurposed to provide one of the key materials needed for upcoming fusion reactors.

The explosion of just one nuclear weapon in space could destroy or permanently damage “a significant proportion of satellites” that are in orbit around the Earth, the UK’s ambassador to the UN has said.

The use of nuclear weapons in any military conflict − including the invasion of Ukraine − would lead to “catastrophic” disruptions in food supplies, according to a Rutgers University-led study.

Clean energy and cancer cures, or waste and weapons? We look at the complex nuclear story.

Since the end of the Cold War, the absolute number of nuclear weapons in the world has declined dramatically. But, as Len Williams discovers, that doesn’t mean we can sleep any more easily. Here’s what the planet’s nuclear arsenal...

Cleantech start-up TheStorage has installed a sand-based thermal storage pilot at a brewery in Finland to provide fossil-free industrial heat.

Failure to effectively address the current space debris challenge could cost the space industry up to $42.3bn over the next decade, according to a World Economic Forum report.

Great Western Railway (GWR) has introduced the UK’s first battery-only-powered passenger train on a suburban rail link in west London.

Flexible, non-toxic hydrogel batteries could power soft, wearable and implantable electronics, according to a study.
