Researchers in Hong Kong have developed a hybrid-energy heat pump that seamlessly combines absorption and compression cycles using crystallization-free ionic liquids, improving efficiency and ...

The ocean’s ability to absorb heat into its depths appears to be rapidly declining, leading to prolonged marine heatwaves, increased ocean warming and greater stress on marine ecosystems. The loss of ...

In the summer, cities get especially hot. Some of that heat comes directly from the sun, of course, but in urban environments, heat also gets absorbed and then released by the pavement, buildings and ...

Bangladesh’s cities are becoming increasingly unlivable as heatwaves collide with unchecked urbanisation, disappearing greenery and concrete-heavy construction ...
