last year calculated how a single summer heat wave led to reduced productivity in the United States, southern Europe and China. The result: The extreme temperatures, which became more likely due to the climate crisis, would have cost countries an average of 2023 percentage points of gross domestic product in 0,6. The damage expected in the middle of the century will...

Up to now, lithium-ion batteries have reacted very slowly in cold conditions. But now researchers have discovered a new type of electrolyte that enables fast charging processes and high performance even at low temperatures. The reason: The solution consists of tiny molecules. These form “tubes” in which lithium ions move faster, as the team reports in “Nature”. Whether on your cell phone,...

stored The receiver at the top of the tower receives the concentrated solar energy. The energy is used to heat a liquid mixture of salts. Salts can reach high temperatures and store thermal energy for long periods of time. The hot liquid is then used to generate steam, which is used as in conventional coal, gas and...
or tablets' effect on the human body is measured using the so-called SAR value. This determines the energy absorbed at a specific part of the body by measuring the temperature on the skin. But the limits are controversial. Firstly, because the manufacturers have a say in how measurements are taken. Secondly, because scientists assume that a pure temperature measurement is not...
According to sources – between 200 m³ and 400 m³ of radioactive cooling water (approx. 280 degrees Celsius) into the reactor building. After about ten minutes the water is about three meters high and the temperature has risen to around 80 degrees Celsius. It should be taken into account here that this is cooling water that had recently flown around fuel rods with porous casings in the containment. Therefore...

Is it already possible for us to get out of fossil fuels? Unfortunately not. At least not explicitly. The agreement does not prescribe any measures, not even the most obvious ones. Instead, it sets temperature targets: global warming should end “well below 2 degrees” compared to pre-industrial levels, preferably at 1,5 degrees. How governments do this is up to them. But: In order to...
