Research published in Regional Environmental Change has shown that as climate zones shift toward hotter and drier conditions, ecological diversity will decline, posing a major threat to terrestrial ecosystems with far-reaching social and ecological impacts.
More Biodiversity at the Field Edge
Can flower strips combined with hedges improve biodiversity in intensively used agricultural areas?
Moving Perovskite Advancements From the Lab to the Manufacturing Floor
Tandem solar cells are made of stacked materials — such as silicon paired with perovskites — that together absorb more of the solar spectrum than single materials, resulting in a dramatic increase in efficiency.
