How professional football gamified climate action this weekend
Over 80 teams across the Premier League, lower English divisions, and Women’s Super League partook in the Green Football Weekend between February 3-5. Clubs implemented their own eco ideas while fans competed in a sustainable action league. On Friday evening, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher approached Chelsea FC catering staff to ask for a cup of tea ‘with vegan milk.’ Prompting mocking laughs from co-pundits Gary Neville and Karen Carney, this wholesome...
Copenhagen’s eco-village meets all 17 Sustainable Development Goals
An eco-village under construction in Copenhagen is redefining what sustainability means within architecture. Instead of focusing on purely renewable energy or green building materials, it consciously addresses all 17 of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. South of the city centre in Copenhagen, a residential area called Ørestad is being constructed and it may just become the most sustainable neighbourhood on the planet. While it wouldn’t be the first village constructed with...
Gen Z believes schools are failing to provide vital digital skills
A recent report from Dell Technologies has revealed that Gen Z is less than satisfied with the digital skills being taught at schools. Many are taking it upon themselves to learn independently for specialist careers.
The self-proclaimed digital natives feel underequipped to thrive in a world increasingly turning to tech. Work that one out.
Gen Z is coming of age in turbulent times. We’ve emerged from the pandemic as statistically the ‘
Researchers create WiFi device able to detect people through walls
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, have created a method for accurately detecting the shape and movement of human bodies through walls using WiFi routers. Is this a privacy nightmare waiting to happen? Remember Lucius Fox’s super invasive sonar technology in the finale of The Dark Knight? Well this is eerily similar, except that it’s real. Scientists have reportedly developed technology able to detect the precise shape and movement of human...
‘ChatGPT Professional’ sparks industry scramble for commercial AI
OpenAI is gearing up to announce a premium version of its popular language generator tool ChatGPT3. Google is reportedly scrambling to break the market first, meaning this type of AI may be on the cusp of an early commercial explosion. Artificial intelligence is already hot property, but companies are vying to have their signature stamps all over the biggest projects of 2023. The same company that developed the gorgeous headline image above, OpenAI,...
‘Holy grail’ wheat gene could make heat resistant crops
How humanity is to continue growing wheat in centuries to come has long been agriculture’s million-dollar question, but UK scientists have finally developed a crop gene reportedly resistant to a warming world. Remember Interstellar, where a global wheat blight forced Mathew McConachie to scour neighbouring galaxies in search of habitable planets? If only he’d gone to Norwich first. In the small British city, researchers have reportedly found a way of making...
Scientists successfully divert lightning strikes with laser device
Scientists have successfully diverted lightning strikes for the first time using a powerful laser beam directed at the sky. This looks to be the future of novel protection strategies. Without recovering Thor’s hammer, this is probably the next best way of controlling the fierce phenomenon of lightning. Scientists have demonstrated a first in the world of photonic studies, successfully diverting the natural path of a lightning strike by pointing a powerful...
Is ‘weather whiplash’ yet another symptom of climate change?
Once a colloquial phrase used to describe surprising, rapid shifts in weather conditions, ‘weather whiplash’ is being continuously validated by climate change studies and is reportedly getting worse. We all misjudge the weather from time to time, but what we’re talking about here is far more dramatic than mistakenly opting to leave an umbrella at home. Prior to New Year’s Eve in California, the state had endured a prolonged and severe drought...
NASA’s James Webb Telescope discovers first known rocky planet
NASA’s James Webb Telescope has peered deep into the universe and discovered the first known planet of rocky formation. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to Earth, LHS 475b is now the subject of intense observation. Peering into the vast expanses of the universe is now possible thanks to the James Webb Telescope, in greater capacity than before anyway. Successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Telescope has already provided us...
UK authorities want to reuse graves as burial space diminishes
Laws in effect since Victorian times are causing UK funeral authorities problems as burial space runs low. Some have requested to reuse old graves and policy reviews are ongoing. Does the New Year make anyone else think of death? Just me then… okay. We apologise for such a morbid topic so early in the year, but a squeamish attitude is probably what landed us here in the first place. Cemeteries throughout England...
