Using skyscraper lifts to store energy when there's a surplus and generate it when it's scarce. That's what a team of researchers aims to achieve with a new gravity-based system, details of which have been published in the journal Energy. We analyse the potential and the limitations of this technology.

Thanks to the Bioroad additive, manufactured asphalt mixes yield better results and specifications than traditional ones, thus promoting the circular economy and environmental protection.

In the midst of a series of global crises—energy, climate and political—many powers have strengthened their commitment to nuclear energy.
