Introduction Angola's energy sector reflects both its resource wealth and developmental hurdles. Historically tied to oil, which constitutes over 90% of exports, the country is diversifying amid global calls for decarbonization . Recent reforms, including the 2015 General Electricity Law, have opened doors for independent power producers and renewables . Yet, infrastructure limitations hinder progress: high transmission losses (20-30%) and...

Introduction The LCA60T, developed by French startup Flying Whales, represents a revival of rigid airships for modern cargo needs. With a payload capacity of 60 metric tonnes (132,000 lbs), a length of 656 feet, and a cargo hold measuring 96 meters long by 8 meters high and 7-8 meters wide, it aims to transport oversized loads like wind turbine components...

Zinc-air batteries have long tantalized scientists with their promise of high energy density using abundant materials like zinc and atmospheric oxygen. However, challenges such as inefficient rechargeability and catalyst...

The construction sector, a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, grapples with its outsized environmental footprint. Cement alone accounts for 8% of global CO2 emissions, driving urgent calls for sustainable alternatives...

Introduction Gyrotrons, once confined to scientific labs, are now pivotal in addressing humanity's dual challenges of energy security and resource sustainability. By generating high-power electromagnetic waves, they facilitate plasma heating...

The Great Barrier Reef, home to thousands of marine species, has lost about 50% of its coral cover in the past three decades due to rising ocean temperatures, acidification,...

Desalination has emerged as a critical response to water scarcity, with over 20,000 plants globally supplying millions. In 2024-2025, startups in this sector secured around $1.12 billion in investments,...

Tropical forests, covering just 7% of Earth's land surface, are powerhouses of biodiversity and medical innovation. They house around 80% of terrestrial species, serving as genetic reservoirs for compounds...

African rainforests, particularly in regions like the Congo Basin and Gabon, are biodiversity hotspots facing severe threats from poaching, climate change, and deforestation. AI camera traps—motion-activated devices enhanced with...

Water scarcity in arid regions, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, has reached critical levels. A UN SDG partnership report highlights how overexploitation of groundwater leads to rapid...

Innovations and Challenges in 2025 Ocean plastic pollution has reached alarming levels, with millions of tons entering marine ecosystems annually, disrupting biodiversity and entering food chains. As of 2025, innovative...
