One of the most elusive and sought-after goals of modern physics could be on the verge of realisation. A team of researchers from Cornell University recently published a paper that could herald a new era in the world of sustainable technology. They claim to have taken a big step towards the “promised land” of room-temperature […]

Interesting times for the semiconductor industry with both Samsung and Buffett making contrasting moves In the rapidly evolving world of technology, major shifts are occurring that could have a profound impact on the future of the semiconductor industry. Two recent news events encapsulate this dynamic landscape: Samsung’s revolutionary partnership with Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC) to […]
A host of EU nations have revised their 2030 sustainability goals to be even more ambitious. Great news, sure. What does this mean for businesses and talent, though? Whilst there are huge opportunities to provide and develop solutions, there are also challenges in transition. These moves come following a request from The European […]

This week we’re talking about the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how its introduction is causing various industries to change and adapt. Today, we’re looking at the fashion industry and the rise of the AI model. AI has made waves in the industry already, being used in the design process, to predict trends and […]

You might say that clean energy is the holy grail. It shouldn’t be something out of reach, though. Defined as energy that ‘comes from renewable, zero-emission sources that do not pollute the atmosphere when used’, this is where we should all be aiming to get to, as quickly as possible At chiefmachers, clean energy is […]
There are carbon offsets and carbon offsets. Some go a long way to addressing the very real problem of carbon emissions affecting our environment. Others, however, can fail both from an emissions-cutting and a sustainability perspective. All too often, we hear stories of grand promises about sustainability credentials, only for them to fall apart upon […]
If food loss and waste were a country, it would be the third-biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions. In spite of a global hunger crisis, one study has estimated that 40% of food is wasted. One contributing factor to this waste is the expectations of consumers. Or, rather, the supermarket chains and what they believe […]

We’ve spoken about the First Movers Coalition (FMC) before. Now we want to dig into some of the commitments they have set and look at how this may impact the future of transportation. The IPCC says that limiting global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius depends on cutting emissions by 45% in the next eight […]

Cop26 saw the creation of the First Movers Coalition (FMC). Comprised of 34 members, they have collectively pledged to buy more low-carbon products in an attempt to increase demand and, subsequently, bring down costs. The coalition counts the likes of Apple, Amazon, Boeing and DHL among its members. The U.N. International Panel on Climate Change […]

Lithium-ion batteries have long been heralded as the green future of energy. Costs remain very high, however. Now, a new, low-cost alternative might be within reach, raising hopes for a faster pace of change in the push for greener energy consumption around the world. Solar and wind power are solutions that are seeing exponential growth […]
