Recognizing the threat of rising temperature brought by climate change and what, as a developed country, the UK’s fair contribution to the global effort should be, the UK Government has set a legally binding target of 80 percent CO2 reduction by 2050 compared to 1990. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is an independent body that advises the UK Government on setting and meeting carbon reduction targets and on preparing for the impacts of climate change.

Argonne National Laboratory

Imagine dropping your phone on the hard concrete sidewalk, but when you pick it up, you find its battery has already healed itself. A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are exploring ways to design batteries that heal themselves when damaged.
