Research Reveals How a Changing Climate Reshapes Cooling Efficiency and Energy Demand
New research led by University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa atmospheric scientists found that the century-old yardstick used across many industries to estimate air-conditioning and refrigeration energy demand — called cooling degree days — is missing something fundamental.
Antarctica Is Giving Us a Warning of Sea Level Rise Decades in Advance - Now Is Our Time to Act
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise.
Hidden Risks in AI Data Centres Spark New Battery Safety Research
As artificial intelligence (AI) drives a global surge in data centres in Canada and around the world, a less visible but increasingly urgent challenge is growing alongside it.
Reducing Power Temporarily Improves Carbon Dioxide Conversion
Catalysts that convert waste carbon dioxide into valuable products such as acetate are designed to run continuously on electricity for the conversion process.
Predicting Where Wildfire Smoke Will Go Next
In recent summers, wildfire smoke has been inescapable across Wisconsin, drifting south from Canada and leading to long stretches of poor air quality.
