If you happened to tune in to an NBA game in November on a Tuesday or Friday night, you might have noticed that the court looked different — with every inch of wood painted, and a broad stripe running through the middle from baseline-to-baseline. The special paint jobs, as you probably figured out soon thereafter, are for the NBA’s new In-Season Tournament.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced Friday plans by UAE state-owned renewables firm Masdar and German energy giant RWE to invest up to 11 billion pounds ($14 billion) in a giant offshore windfarm.
The joint investment plans will help erect turbines at the UK's massive Dogger Bank site in the North Sea, he said at the COP28 climate talks in Dubai.
The long-planned offshore windfarm off the

The World Bank will "operate" an ambitious new climate change fund, but donors and recipients will likely control how the money is actually spent, the head of the development lender said Friday.
More than $400 million has been pledged initially to the new "loss and damage" fund for countries impacted by climate change since it was approved by nations attending the UN's COP 28 climate summit
Tokyo (AFP) Dec 2, 2023
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has vowed to stop building new coal-fired power plants that lack measures to cut carbon emissions.
The announcement was made at the UN's COP 28 climate summit in Dubai, as Japan, heavily reliant on imported coal and other fossil fuels, aims to become carbon-neutral by 2050.
"In line with its pathway to net-zero, Japan will end new construction of do

In an era increasingly defined by the urgent need to shift away from carbon-based energy sources, a team of researchers has made significant strides in the field of low or no-carbon alternatives. In a study published in Nano Research Energy on November 22, 2023, scientists from Jilin University unveiled a novel method for producing hydrogen - a promising and clean energy source - through the pro

If we are to save the planet, we are going to have to use energy far more efficiently.
Yet experts say this obvious measure has been long overlooked with COP28 set to hear calls Saturday for the annual rate of energy efficiency improvements to double by 2030.

Energy efficiency means "using less energy for the same or even higher level of service" from machiner

A researcher has just finished writing a scientific paper. She knows her work could benefit from another perspective. Did she overlook something? Or perhaps there's an application of her research she hadn't thought of. A second set of eyes would be great, but even the friendliest of collaborators might not be able to spare the time to read all the required background publications to catch up.

Researchers at the University of Sydney Nano Institute have invented a compact silicon semiconductor chip that integrates electronics with photonic, or light, components. The new technology significantly expands radio-frequency (RF) bandwidth and the ability to accurately control information flowing through the unit.
Expanded bandwidth means more information can flow through the chip and t

It would be a mistake to reject nuclear power because of problems at a handful of projects, Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency said in an interview with AFP.
Grossi was speaking at the COP28 conference in Dubai, where 20 countries led by the United States called Saturday for nuclear power capacity to be tripled by 2050 to fight global warming.

The world's biggest experimental nuclear fusion reactor in operation was inaugurated in Japan on Friday, a technology in its infancy but billed by some as the answer to humanity's future energy needs.
Fusion differs from fission, the technique currently used in nuclear power plants, by fusing two atomic nuclei instead of splitting one.
The goal of the JT-60SA reactor is to investigate th
