As the refrigeration industry has matured, natural refrigerants have progressively been displaced by synthetic alternatives. However, Tim Mitchell, Sales Director of Klima-Therm, says a greater focus on environmental considerations could reverse this trend.

Scientists at Scripps Research have revealed a new approach to synthesising crucial molecules used in drug development.

Why are condensation, damp and mould still issues, and how do we know if our location is healthy for all? Here, David Bly, Managing Director of Cornerstone Management Services Limited, explains the firm’s findings and how their reported transparent outcomes have served to provide cost-effective solutions across the industries they serve.

Renewable changes to heat systems and heat pumps are crucial as our world faces an existential threat in the form of a climate emergency. Renewable methods of heating can help reduce greenhouse gases and, therefore the impact of global warming.

Researchers have found an approach to help tackle sustainability; the study introduces a strategy to produce acetylene (C2H2).

Climate change is a worldwide threat to humanity and to human activities. Especially in the densely populated continent of Europe, targeted adaptation to the man-made changes in climate is necessary.
