How Australia can achieve net zero
The University's Net Zero Initiative has released a portfolio of "ready-to-go" solutions and technology to address key issues in the transformation towards net zero. The University of Sydney's Net Zero Initiative (NZI) has today released the Path to Net Zero , a white paper which outlines technologies and market-ready solutions it is developing, to contribute to Australia's targets for emissions reductions of 43 percent by 2030 and net zero by 2050.

On the Road to Spotting Alien Life
In early August, scientists and engineers gathered in a small auditorium at Caltech to discuss how to build the first space telescope capable of detecting life on planets like Earth. The proposed mission concept, called the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), would be the next powerful astrophysics observatory after NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

AI pilot programs look to reduce energy use and emissions on MIT campus
A cross-departmental team is leading efforts to utilize machine learning for increased efficiency in heating and cooling MIT's buildings. Close Smart thermostats have changed the way many people heat and cool their homes by using machine learning to respond to occupancy patterns and preferences, resulting in a lower energy draw.

UT Coordinating a 2.5M project to improve Electromagnetic Compliance
New communication and automation technologies help society to become smarter and more sustainable but there has been evidence that the electromagnetic interference they create can possibly cause deadly accidents. Little is known on how to avoid or control this electromagnetic interference propagating within modern complex systems therefore the training of researchers in these electromagnetic effects and mitigations is required.

Many people have biased perceptions of EDI leaders: study
For the past decade, companies across North America have paid more attention to supporting equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). This has prompted many organizations to create a leadership role fully dedicated to advancing EDI - so much so that between 2015 and 2020, the job title "head of diversity" increased 107 percent on LinkedIn.
