Experts enter fourth dimension to create better medical devices

Stuart Mitchell

Experts at the University of Birmingham and Imperial College London have launched a project aimed at revolutionising medical device engineering by incorporating a fourth dimension—time— into design to achieve new functionality.  The 4D Health Tech initiative addresses a critical gap in medical device design: neglect of time-dependent changes in the human body. Traditional medical devices fail to account for growth, movement, and tissue regeneration or degeneration, leading to compromised functionality and shortened lifespan.   For example, paediatric implants do not grow with the child and must be regularly changed. Stoma bags…

Nuclear Scaling Initiative releases global strategy

Stuart Mitchell

The Nuclear Scaling Initiative (NSI), a collaboration between Clean Air Task Force (CATF), the EFI Foundation (EFIF), and the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI), today published a new roadmap outlining a comprehensive strategy for building a new nuclear energy ecosystem capable of dramatically increasing the deployment of safe and secure nuclear energy to 50 gigawatts or more annually by the 2030s.   “Nuclear energy has a vital role to play in ensuring energy security, driving economic development, and meeting global emissions targets as we address rising energy demand,” said Stephen Comello, NSI’s…

Britain on fast track to net zero with early access to £4 billion infrastructure investment

Stuart Mitchell

British renewable energy projects will be connected quicker thanks to new Ofgem rules granting early access to almost £4 billion of investment for crucial transmission equipment and services.  The regulator’s new Advanced Procurement Mechanism (APM) will unblock supply chains by allowing Britain’s electricity transmission owners (TOs) to buy essential equipment – such as switchgear, cables and steel – years in advance of when it is needed.  This streamlined process will ensure green-lit projects are ready to break ground as soon as planning approval is granted, allowing TOs to avoid delays,…

Ceres celebrates the 2025 BICEP Award winners for leading on corporate clean energy advocacy

Stuart Mitchell

Last month, business leaders took to Capitol Hill to take part in one of the most important clean energy policy advocacy events in a generation. LEAD on a Clean Economy 2025 focused squarely on defending the federal policy that has unleashed so much economic growth through clean energy investment: the tax credits that are helping America rebuild its manufacturing base, meet surging electricity demand, and ensure its leadership in the global competition to command the industries of the 21st century.  Ceres wrote: In dozens of meetings with Republican Congressional offices,…
